Golden History Moment

*The Coors Mansion – Middle photo from Google Street Images; all others from the Golden History Museum collection – click to enlarge*

According to Coors: A Rocky Mountain Legend, the Coors mansion was built by brewery founder Adolph Coors as a present to his wife in 1890. It was constructed with pieces of a dance pavilion and beer garden, which had operated on the brewery grounds, but had been closed for many years.

There were originally three cottages for family members, but the two smaller cottages had been demolished to make way for brewery expansions. The mansion itself was moved about 450 feet in 1962 to allow for a brewery addition.

The mansion still remains, and is visible from Highway 58.
