"Golden looking so. west" - 331

Goosetown
Circa 1900


Here the photographer looks southwest over the Golden valley sometime during the early 20th Century.  In the foreground is the remaining half of the Colorado Central Railroad Roundhouse (1870-1927), of which the foundation still remains.  Also in the foreground is Goosetown, Golden's historic German district.  Vantage point is from the present-day location of Highway 58 above Depot Street in eastern Golden.  Lookout Mountain is in the background, along with much of early 20th Century Golden.
