Golden History Moment

Dirt Streets in Golden – click to enlarge

100 Years Ago
The October 21, 1920 Colorado Transcript had an article about proposals to pave a route from “the cement road” (Colfax) into downtown Golden. There were two routes under consideration–extending Washington Avenue south, at a cost of $53,506.97 or extending Ford Street at a cost of $39,122.84.

At that time, all of Golden’s streets–including Washington and Ford–were still unpaved.


Many thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts as well as the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
