Golden History Moment
51 Years Ago
The August 12, 1971 Golden Transcript reported that a planned rezoning hearing had been tabled. Developer Tri-B had presented a plan to build homes on almost four acres in the Southridge neighborhood. Two councilmen were negotiating the buy the property for use as a neighborhood park. The negotiation was successful: the City purchased the land the following October and it is now Southridge Park.
By that time, Tri-B had their sights on a much bigger project. The State of Colorado had just auctioned off the former farm property from the Lookout Mountain School. Tri-B had purchased 64 acres, which they planned to develop into a large apartment complex. That resulted in another rezoning request. It was granted in December of 1971, and the Lunnonhaus Village apartments (now called Summit View) opened in 1973.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
