ASHWORTH BUILDING
     1906, Perre O. Unger
     1213 Washington Avenue
     Golden Register - April 25, 2002

     The Ashworth Building, the first Golden landmark made of
     specially colored brick, was built in 1906 by the father and son
     hotel ownership team of William H. and Clyde L. Ashworth.
     It was built as the replacement for the original Avenue Saloon,
     a one-story frame building that served the Ashworths' Avenue
     Hotel from 1875-1906. The saloon continued in this building,
     while the upper floor served as Avenue Hotel rooms on an
     architectural scheme originally conceived by Carlos Lake. After
     the Colorado advent of Prohibition closed the Avenue Saloon in
     1914, Fred Reimer opened the Reimer Red & White Grocery,
     part of the independent-owner chain of grocery stores, in 1915.
     After the Avenue Hotel ceased operation in 1931 the Ashworth
     Building's first story storefront was slightly modified for a new
     second-story entrance to both the hotel buildings, and later most
     of the space was remodeled in the early 1960s. Today the
     Ashworth Building awaits restoration.

     822 12th Street
     National Register - March 1, 1973
     State Register
     Golden Register - November 14, 1991 (added to 12th Street Historic District)

     Among the oldest remaining hotel buildings in Colorado, the Astor
     House (bearing little resemblance to its New York City namesake)
     was originally constructed in 1867 by Seth Lake as an upgrade and
     replacement for the predecessor Lake House hotel.  The 3rd hotel
     ran by Lake in the Golden area, the Astor House was constructed
     of cut sandstone from the quarries of C.R. Foreman & Co. at the west
     terminus of 12th Street, and built by Seth Lake himself.  Golden's
     premier hotel for 3 years until overshadowed by the Golden House, it
     outlasted that hotel and others into the 20th century.  In 1972 it was
     saved by the Golden Landmarks Association, who successfully
     crusaded to gain a 2-1 vote of the people of Golden to spare the
     building from planned City-sposored demolition. GLA thereafter
     created the Astor House Museum and owns the artifacts housed inside.

AVENUE HOTEL
     1870, John H. Parsons & William H. Curry
     1211 Washington Avenue
     Golden Register - April 25, 2002

     Until recently the longest-operating hotel building in Golden's history,
     this place was originally built as the City Restaurant hotel by
     Charles Garbareno, an immigrant from Monte Bruno, Italy
     From 1866 through the 1880s Charlie, his wife Rosa and brother
     Louis were beloved prominent businesspeople in Golden, with the
     City Restaurant enticing patrons with its fine Italian cuisine and
     ice cream. Originally this building was designed with a Second Empire
     style storefront with Roman-arched doors and windows with fanlights,
     and a grand ornate front balcony made of eastern lumber that was used for
     public speeches and events. After Garbareno's death the hotel continued
     in serve under successor John Chiovenda and various prominent keepers
     including Jefferson County Sheriff Sidney S. Poe and Carlos Lake, the
     second generation of prominent hotelkeepers of this name in Golden.
     In the early 1900s Lake and partner Wells renamed the hotel its most
     famous name of the Avenue Hotel, the second Golden hotel to bear the
     name, though it was also known as the Poe Hotel, Crawford House and
     Cody Hotel, the latter after its most famous guest "Buffalo Bill" Cody.
     In 1931 the hotel ceased operation after 61 years in operation, which for
     many years stood as the longest tenure of any Golden hostelry. At that
     time the building's rapidly decaying facade was completely replaced with
     another striking one, a premodernist storefront of complimentary yellow
     and brown brick patterns. Also at that time the building's second-longest
     tenured tenant, the Gamble's chain furniture store, began here, lasting
     until the 1970s. Afterward it served as World Savings bank, whose steel
     vault still graces the building's interior.

BANKS INSURANCE AGENCY

     711 12th Street
     Golden Register - April 26, 2001

     Joseph Charles Remington, Golden's earliest known blacksmith, built
     this place in 1864 to be his home after permanently establishing himself
     in the city.  It is one of only three known buildings to have been built in
     Golden during the Civil War Depression, and originally appeared as a
     brick cottage with segmental arched windows and some ornate woodwork.
     After Remington moved to a new home (now part of the 12th Street
     Historic District) Mrs. Marcella Ayres converted this cottage into her
     bakery.  Ayres was a prominent hotelkeeper known across Colorado,
     who with husband Cyrillus opened the legendary Overland Hotel in
     Golden in 1867.  Afterward the building is known to have served as the
     Queen City Or Troy Laundry of Mrs. E.W. Frear in the 1890s and the
     chiropractic office of Irene V. Ward during the 1930s.  In 1950 dentist
     William V. Peters renovated the building into a Modernist design, with
     uniform horizontal rows of multipane windows and stuccoed exterior
     in imitation of concrete.  That year Banks Insurance Agency, originally
     founded by Frederick B. Robinson in 1893, moved to this place, and
     has since remained, today going into the hands of the third generation of
     the Banks family.  Today this home represents a combination of
     Victorian and Modernist styles indicative of the mid-20th Century
     modernization of downtown Golden.

     1225 Catamount Drive
     Golden Register - July 27, 2006

     As if meant to show off the product of the Golden Pressed & Fire Brick
     Works it served, the Brickyard House is an unusual and ornate jewel of
     Golden made of many kinds of pressed and fancy shaped brick. Built at
     the beginning of the 20th Century, it served as company housing for the
     works, established at this location in 1890 by brothers John B. and
     William Church, who were among the most prominent industrialists
     and philanthropists in Colorado. It likely housed people of high
     positions in the works such as the supervisor or manager, or maybe
     was a model house, and features 7different forms of shaped fancy
     brick made by the Berg brick manufacturing machine. This, colored
     bricks and other innovations catapulted the works from a regional
     player to national renown, eventually shipping as far away as China.
     The house survived the fire of 1915 which destroyed the works
     adjoining to the east and the works closure in 1963, and today
     remains from an industry of which Golden was renowned for a century.

CAMBRIA LIME KILN
     1879
     Kinney Run Trail
     Golden Register - April 25, 2002

     This native stone structure of southern Golden was originally built way
     out in the countryside below the lime quarries of a group of Texas
     capitalists known as the Cambria company. They came to the
     "Lowell of the West" in 1879, purchased clay and lime-streaked
     land and built a large plant on the east side of Golden to manufacture
     many varieties of brick and pottery. This kiln, one of the first
     components of the Cambria operation, was built for the manufacture
     of lime useful in brick building operations. The kiln is made from
     native sandstone quarried from its vicinity, and its capacity was
     200 bushels. The Cambria company continued as one of the pillars
     of Golden industry into the late 1890s. Since that time, this kiln
     stood for many years abandoned within the wilderness of the Tripp
     Ranch, recently being encompassed by the new subdivisions around it.
     Today it remains within a little preserve of its quarry surroundings,
     the only remnant of a once noteworthy lime quarrying industry of the area.

     almost certain death. He sold this home place in 1920, and it became
     home to Prof. Robert Baxter of the Colorado School of Mines for
     many years. Before 1938 he converted this barn to house a new form
     of personal transportation, automobiles, making this a unique building
     crossing between old and new forms of transportation. Over many years
     this unique structure weathered to a rustic brown, and became subject
     to Golden's first preservation easement protection upon its 100th birthday.

EAST STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT
     1867
     14th, 24th, East & Ford Streets
     Golden Register - September 9, 2004

     The oldest of Golden's addition neighborhoods grew up in Johnson's, Kinney's,
     and Welch's Additions beginning in 1867. It has grown largely from the north to
     the south with some notable exceptions in between, from early homes built
     according to one of Colorado's first design covenants to beautiful 1930s brick
     homes to mid-20th Century roadside landmarks. The Welch Ditch dug here in
     1872, which spurred the settlement of this neighborhood, defines the district's
     eastern boundary. Homes of prominent merchants mixed with middle class
     dwellers make up its north side, while historic farmhouses, neighborhood business
     buildings and many of Golden's earliest postwar subdivision homes are further
     south, culminating in the two historic southern gateways to Golden at East and
     Ford Streets. The district's oldest remaining home is the Saunders Residence at
     1509 Ford Street, the sole remaining of the original homes built in 1867 according
     to the deed recorded design covenant required by addition proprietor Calvin Kinney,
     which governed its size and height. The District's youngest historic building is the
     Oasis Service Station at 2321 East Street, a well-preserved 1958 Modernist service
     station built as the successor building by longtime Oasis owner Al Thuet, whose
     father Alfons T. Thuet founded the place as Golden's first stand-alone service
     station in 1920. Prominent local citizens whose homes are here include
     Judge Charles S. Staples and his niece movie star Grace McHugh,
     William "Cement Bill" Williams, Ralph Neal, Bernard and James P. Mallon,
     Clark B. Carpenter, Lorren W. Babb, Henry F. Dodge, John Calon and
     John Lofton Davidson, John Kloer, Michael Sweeney, Charles O. Sauter,
     Roger Quincy Mitchell, James Cuyler Miller, James A. Helps, Edward Sarell,
     Clyde Gregory, Clarence Gould, Richard A. Ronzio, Lloyd Goad, George Hering,
     Jim Brown, Theodore P. Saunders, Edward Furniss, Joseph Francis O'Byrne,
     Rudolph Koenig, Zadock Kalbaugh, John Knox, Clifford Schoech, and the
     Naas Brothers. Also included is the parsonage of St. James Lutheran Church,
     Golden Laundrymat, Neal's Launderette, Evans Market, and Golden Motel.

FARAGHER RESIDENCE
     1873, James B. & Henry C. Baker
     807 9th Street
     Golden Register - January 25, 1996

     The master architect Baker brothers built this humble shotgun-style
     place to serve as the studio where they drew plans for Golden's
     South School and Everett, Rubey and Linder Blocks.  Costing
     $1,000 to build, it came into the hands of the family of Marcus L.
     Bates, and later to Ralston Creek rancher Robert Faragher.  Faragher,
     an immigrant from the Isle of Man, was the first to house a business
     in what was a simple frame clapboarded structure until it was
     stuccoed and rejuvenated in modern times.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH & MANSE, RUBEY RESIDENCE
     1872, 1898, 1899
     809 15th Street, 1510 Washington Avenue
     National Register - March 14, 1991
     State Register - 1990
     Golden Register - 1990

     The small but proud congregation of the First Presbyterian Church of
     Golden first built what is now the Foothills Art Center, now the southeastern
     part of the present Gothic Revival chapel, in 1872.  Founded by the circuit
     riding minister Sheldon Jackson in 1870, the congregation prospered and
     added a number of additions, including the wholesale renovation of the
     chapel to its present bell-towered appearance in the early 1900s.  In 1898
     the congregation built the home of the presiding ministers, or manse (now
     the art center's entrance building), a similarly ornate onion-domed house
     with fishscale siding.  The Victorian house gift shop next door, originally
     designed and built as a speculation house by Perre O. Unger in 1899, was
     purchased the next year by prominent Golden banker Jesse W. Rubey as
     a home for his aged mother, Ella M. Rubey.  In 1958 the Presbyterian
     church moved to a new location, and for 10 years the chapel became home
     to the Jefferson Unitarian Church.  In 1968 it became home to the Foothills
     Art Center, for which these three buildings are now used.

GENESEE PARK
     1913, Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.
     26771 Genesee Lane
     National Register - November 15, 1990
     State Register - 1990

     This was the first park of the Denver Mountain Parks system, acquired in
     1913. Genesee Park includes 2,400 acres reaching up to 8,200 feet, and
     includes mountains, canyons and Denver's own buffalo herd which repatriated
     the animal to Jefferson County for the first time in 75 years. Park designer
     Frederick Law Omsted himself defended the top of Genesee Mountain from being
     sheared off in the plans for this early Denver Mountain Park, believing people
     wanted to come here for scenery, not a parking lot.  The park features Chief
     Hosa Lodge, built in 1917, and its Civilian Conservation Corps-built shelter
     house, each designed by renowned Denver architect Jules Jacques Benois Benedict.
     Also in the park is the Patrick House, a Gold Rush-era stage stop ran by the
     colorful family of John D. Patrick. Genesee Park was listed with its sister
     parks under the Denver Mountain Parks Multiple Property Submission.

GOLDEN CHATEAU
     1926
     16795 West 50th Avenue
     Jefferson County Register - August 7, 2006

     One of the last of the far-famed dance halls of Jefferson County, the Golden
     Chateau was originally built as the Golden Pheasant Club by Benjamin H. Tilley
     in 1926. Featuring music by the Snappy Dragon Orchestra, this unique
     southwestern style lodge entertained happy couples from miles around,
     hosted area fundraisers, and took part in the first Buffalo Bill Days in 1946.
     Also known as Tilley's Lockewood Club and re-christened the Golden
     Chateau by Al and Billie Quist in 1944, the building still features its
     original octagon patterned dance floor, one of the most renowned dance
     floors in Colorado, and the benches surrounding, as well as the rustic
     fieldstone central fireplace. Today the Golden Chateau is the proud home
     of the Golden Elks Lodge.

GOLDEN HIGH SCHOOL
     1922, Eugene G. Groves/H.W. Axtell & Charles J. Buckman
     710 10th Street
     National Register - March 14, 1997
     State Register - 1996
     Golden Register - August 11, 1994

     The 1922 building, one of only 2 remaining historic Golden schools,
     is a rare local example of the Beaux Arts style from a prominent
     architect best known for his work in concrete.  Built by contractors
     Axtell & Buckman, its design has survived 1950, 1953 and 1965
     additions as well as 2 successful attempts to dynamite its safe into
     oblivion.  Converted to a Junior High school in 1956, it ceased use
     as a school in 1988, after which it was restored and converted into
     the American Mountaineering Center.

GOLDEN HILL CEMETERY - HILL SECTION
     1908, West Side Benevolent Society
     12000 West Colfax Avenue C
     National Register - July 31, 1995
     State Register - 1995

     An Jewish mutual aid society known as the West Side Benevolent
     Society established the Golden Hill Cemetery in the countryside of
     Welchester in 1908.  The Hill Section, a northern sliver of land once
     part of the historic Green Mountain Ranch, was reserved for victims
     of tuberculosis, suicides (restricted from the main cemetery by Jewish
     custom), and impoverished Jews buried at community expense.  By
     far the most buried here were victims of the epidemic of tubercolosis,
     who were cared for by the Jewish Consomptive Relief Society (JCRS)
     at the eastern end of Jefferson County on Colfax Avenue.  Today the
     cemetery remains as one of the few, if only, monuments left to this
     dread lung disease that drove many desperate patient to Colorado in
     hopes of a cure.

GOLDEN SCHOOL
     1866
     1420 Washington Avenue
     Golden Register - July 22, 1993

     Possibly the oldest remaining schoolhouse in Colorado, this
     was originally built by Golden School District 1 in 1866 with
     $2,700 from the sale of the previous, uncompleted schoolhouse
     to become the Territorial Executive Building.  Unusually
     well-built for its time, its original front doors faced northward
     since the building was then on the southern outskirts of the city.
     It was divided into two spaces, for the primary and preparatory
     level (predecessor to Golden High School) students.  After
     serving also as a public hall that hosted the first services of the
     Disciples of Christ denomination in Colorado, it was converted
     into a home in 1873 by Dennis M. Murphy.  Murphy, an Irish
     immigrant, operated the prominent Murphy coal mine of Ralston
     Creek for many years, and gave this home an Avenue entrance
     and ornate front porch.  On December 23, 1998 it was critically
     damaged by fire requiring the combined efforts of the Golden
     and Pleasant View fire departments in zero degree temperatures
     to stop.  Afterward it became Golden's farthest-damaged building
     to be restored, with design by Golden architect Peter Ewers.

GOLDEN TOURIST PARK OFFICE & CARETAKER'S HOUSE
     1934
     2200 Jackson Street
     Golden Register - April 10, 2003

     One of the few remaining places of the earliest form of motor
     lodging, the Golden Tourist Park site began as the county mansion
     estate of prominent banker and Golden Mayor Francis E. Everett
     in 1871. Everett planted a grove of trees lining the edges of this block
     and dug a well to water them, which after his death in 1884 were
     purchased by prominent businessman William J. Sapp and became
     known as Sapp's Grove. In 1893 the Denver, Lakewood & Golden
     tramway took hold of the grounds and built a large wooden dance
     pavilion among the trees and Sapp's Grove became a resort for
     tramway tourists. Unfortunately this alcohol-free resort was not
     also flame-free, and the Everett Mansion burned down in 1894,
     taking the resort down with it. Sapp's Grove was used occasionally
     and toughed out the second-worst drought in Golden's history
     in ensuing years, until the advent of automobile tourism spurred
     the City government to acquire it as the muncipal campground in
     1924. Early travelers camped in the shade by attaching canvas
     to their Model Ts and Model As, and as auto tourist demand
     changed so did the Golden Tourist Park. The hexagonal bandstand
     of City Park, originally from the corner of 13th and Washington,
     was transplanted here to become a common kitchen for the park,
     and from 1924-1934 it was joined by a common shower building,
     caretaker's house, storage shed and 9 cabins for people to stay in.
     All but the kitchen were paid for solely by the park's own proceeds.
     In 1941 the Golden Tourist Park left City hands, and in the 1950s
     C.F. and Mrs. Loveland converted it into the Loveland Trailer Court.
     In 1959 Yvone Brouillet changed its name to Big Trees Trailer Court.
     Today the park Office & Caretaker's House, a unique combination
     cabin residence and office built by longtime park manager
     Frank Trimmer, stands as one of the few surviving examples from
     a cottage court, the earliest form of motor lodging, predecessor to
     the modern motel.

GOLDEN WELCOME ARCH
     1949, Paul Reeves/Consolidated Electric
     Midblock 1100 Block of Washington Avenue
     State Register - June 14, 2000
     Golden Register - 1999

     Inspired by the long-departed Welcome Arch of downtown Denver,
     Golden's arch was a modern neon-lined translation when it was
     built in 1949.  Spearheaded by Golden Chamber of Commerce
     president Lu Holland, owner of the Holland House hotel, it has
     stood to capitalize on Golden's old western heritage.  After three
     renovations in 1975, 1979 and 1997 it has lost its neon, two-toned
     its lettering and proclaims Golden is "Where the West Lives" instead
     of "Where the West Remains."  Every Christmastime a 1946 set of
     Santa and reindeer perch atop downtown's most recognizable emblem,
     all designed by metal artist Paul Reeves.

     of Colorado operation, this vehicle is important for its engineering significance
     in Colorado railroad history.  It is a standard gauge combination baggage
     and passenger car, purchased as a rebuilt car in 1904.

GREEN RESIDENCE
     c. 1878
     920 9th Street
     Golden Register - October 9, 1997

     Since the mid-1870s, this one and half-story brick house has stood
     on this corner, once constituting the small Ross Farm within the
     City limits.  A small mother-in-law cottage was added to the place

     most rustic buildings, a barn of native stone with tin roof.

GUY HILL SCHOOL
     1876
     900 11th Street (Clear Creek History Park)
     Golden Register - March 23, 1995

     Guy Hill School is Jefferson County's most moved building, having
     traveled four times before finally settling down at its present location.
     The people of Golden Gate Canyon's Guy Hill area built it, according
     to tradition, in 1976, as a one-room schoolhouse that also served as
     their community meeting place.  Its windows are pedimented in
     Greek design, and it is named for the hill named for Bostonian
     stagestop keeper John C. Guy.  It was one of two schools serving
     School District 10, and upon the unification of the R-1 School District
     it stopped being used in 1951.  After being abandoned for many years,
     Mitchell Elementary teacher and Golden Landmarks Association
     member Verna Katona rediscovered it and spearheaded efforts to
     save it and move it to Golden as a Centennial Bicentennial project in
     1976, gaining national attention.  Since then it has served as a museum
     with the collection Katona and GLA assembled within it.

HALL OF ENGINEERING
     1894, Robert S. Roeschlaub/Herbert Tracy Quick
     820 15th Street (Colorado School of Mines)
     Golden Register - November 14, 1991

     The Hall of Engineering is the third and oldest remaining building
     of the Colorado School of Mines.  It was designed by Colorado's
     first licensed architect, Robert S. Roeschlaub, a widely-renowned
     master of the Richardsonian Romanesque style that this building
     was designed in.  It is made of Golden produced pressed brick
     with a rhyolite foundation and sandstone trim.  In 1991 the building
     was gutted and restored to clear radium contamination dating to
     CSM's experiments dating to 1908.

HARRIS RESIDENCE

     812 16th Street
     Golden Register - March 23, 1995

     Prominent Golden businesswoman Margaret E. Harris likely
     designed her home that she built in 1886.  Harris not long after
     designed and built the Hotel La Veta and operated a successful
     confectionary downtown, all while supporting her Civil War veteran
     husband Edwin, who was in the Pueblo insane asylum for years.

LOVELAND BLOCK & COORS BUILDING
     1863 & 1873/1906, Duncan E. Harrison & Baerresen Bros and Perre O. Unger
     1120-22 Washington Avenue
     National Register - May 16, 1996
     State Register - 1996
     Golden Register - September 24, 1992

     Possibly Colorado's oldest remaining brick commercial building, the
     Loveland Block was built by a partnership of William A.H. Loveland and
     the Golden Masonic Lodge (Colorado's 1st Masonic organization) in 1863.
     It was the second home of Loveland's mercantile, which would be among
     Colorado's longest-lived businesses in history, 1859-1978.  The building's
     contractor was Duncan E. Harrison of Golden.  The building was expanded
     in 1866 to accommodate the Colorado Territorial Legislature which met here in
     1866-67.  For 57 years the mercantile was operated by the German immigrant
     family of Nicholas Koenig, who remodeled its storefront in 1905.  The building
     is also the area's oldest remaining movie house, after the original Golden
     Theatre was operated in the historic Representatives Hall from 1908-10.
     The Coors Building's north wall was originally constructed in 1873 by
     William A. Wortham as a component of his grocery store building at the
     site, which size was identical to the Coors Building while its appearance
     was identical to the Schultz Building to the north (built in 1900 and
     depending on this wall for southern structural support).  Long the store of
     Anselm Dold, the building was largely demolished in 1906 by Adolph Coors
     and rebuilt as a saloon and bottling house.  Its architects were the Baeressen
     Bros. of Denver, and contractor Perre O. Unger of Golden.  A 1992-93
     renovation gave these buildings' storefronts a rough approximation of
     their early 20th century appearances. On November 3, 2005 a major fire
     severely damaged the Loveland Block, after which it was meticulously
     revived and restored to the appearance it had from 1922-33.

LOVELAND COTTAGE
     1859, James A. Dawson (probable)
     717 12th Street
     Golden Register - April 22, 2004

     What is now a modest frame cottage was "a rather recherche affair" when it
     was built during the Gold Rush, according to George West. The Loveland
     Cottage was indeed quite an advancement when it was built, made entirely
     of cut boards, and veritable Gold Rush mansion built by Golden attorney,
     Masonic Lodge founder and elected Justice of the Peace Reuben Borton.
     Also living here was wife Leah Borton, who was a founding officer of the
     Ladies Samaritan Society who looked after the victims of the Mountain
     Fever epidemic, and Diantha Ferris, who ran a millinery store here. Borton
     sold this home to Golden's most prominent merchant, William A.H. Loveland,
     who brought his family of wife Miranda and sons Francis William and William
     Leonard from the east. Being the first house of the "Prince of Pioneers,"
     Loveland founded the Colorado Central Railroad and was instrumental in
     making Golden capital of Jefferson and Colorado Territories while living here.
     The cottage was sold in 1867 to John J. and Christiana Bush, who had just
     arrived to establish the first paper mill west of the Missouri River here, and
     possibly lived here while building their mansion elsewhere in town. They sold
     it in 1868 to Charles Garbareno, an immigrant from Monte Bruno, Italy who
     with wife Rose was popular for his Italian cuisine and hotel establishments.
     After establishing his City Restaurant hotel nearby Garbareno rented the
     cottage to Col. Parker B. Cheney, the legendary keeper of the nearby
     Chicago Saloon, once wife Sarintha wanted a true home to live in. During the
     1890s the cottage, still connected to the hotel complex, was owned by
     Sheriff Sidney S. Poe, who restored it after being critically damaged by a fire
     on December 26, 1892. In the early 1900s it was home to Robert Bunney,
     Golden's postmaster who worked next door in the Rubey Block, and
     stepfather of prominent Republican politican John F. Vivian. In 1941 the
     cottage became home to Maurice and Joy Reagan, who added its small
     brick storefront for their Reagan Shoe Repair shop, which operated here
     for over 40 years and still operates in Golden today as the B&BE Shoe Shop.
     Today, the Loveland Cottage is an exceptional historic landmark that remains
     as Colorado's oldest known frame cottage and home of a woman-owned
     business, is Golden's oldest building and one of the few remaining from the
     Gold Rush in Colorado.

     since.  It is made of stone quarried from the west end of 12th
     Street by Chalres R. Foreman & Company, and doubled in size
     around the turn of the 20th Century.

MAGIC MOUNTAIN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE

     National Register - August 21, 1980
     State Register

     The 1380-year-old stone foundation remains of Jefferson County's oldest
     known building exist beneath the surface of this site, which has been under
     investigation by archaeologists since the 1880s.  A site continuously visited
     by native peoples for millennia, it is a vicinity that has left behind many
     educational artifacts, and the locality has drawn settlers from nomadic tribes
     to the gold rushers who founded the nearby town of Apex.  The building
     constructed here appears from modifications to have been used twice as
     long as Jefferson County's oldest extant building today.  This site was
     named for Magic Mountain, the original resort name of Heritage Square.

MANN RESIDENCE

     Brick Company's Southern Works burned down in 1895.  He built these
     two cottages of native stone for his own residence, and expanded what
     was a midblock alley into Miller Place.  These cottages mark the
     beginning of Golden's only Depression-era created subdivision.

     Originally out on the boondocks of the city, the Prout residence was
     built out close to the North White Ash Coal Mine, of which owner
     William I. Prout was the manager. The Prout family were prominent
     miners in Colorado and Mexico, and this is the only known remaining
     home associated with them. It is also one of the best preserved

     and built by noted Golden builder James H. Gow, son of pioneer
     contractor Thomas Gow, who designed and built the resort, Armory,
     and Gem Theater among other places.  The Quaintance Block was
     moved to its present location in 1923 to make way for a gas station of

QUEEN OF HEAVEN ORPHANAGE SUMMER CAMP
     c. 1913, Frances Xavier Cabrini/Thomas Ekrom
     20189 Cabrini Boulevard
     National Register - January 14, 2000
     State Register - 1999

     Mother Cabrini, the first American citizen saint, established this place as
     the summer getaway for the many needy Denver orphans that she helped
     live a better life.  From her summer camp program beginning in 1909,
     Cabrini designed and built this large stone house on a hilltop between
     1912 and 1914.  Including a chapel and sleeping rooms, the Orphanage
     summer camp continued to serve until the late 1960s.  Today it is all that
     physically remains from the famous Denver orphanage's legacy.  In
     addition to National and State Register recognition, the Queen of Heaven
     Orphanage is also recognized as an historic landmark by the Roman
     Catholic Church.

RED ROCKS

     West Alameda Parkway (western end)
     National Register - May 18, 1990 (CCC Camp); November 15, 1990 (Park)
     State Register
     Denver Register

     Since at least the days of the Ute Indians the breathtaking formations
     of this park have enchanted countless travelers. According to tradition
     this park was first named the Garden of the Angels by Judge Martin
     V. Luther in 1870, and beginning in 1893 Morrison residents began
     building a network of roads to take people throughout the park to see
     what they could see in the rocks. In 1906 John Brisben Walker, the
     famed recent publisher of Cosmopolitan magazine in New York,
     in company with his father, son and other noteworthy partners,
     renamed the park the Garden of the Titans (though it soon adopted
     as a proper name its historic folk name of simply Red Rocks)
     fully developed this park with roads, pavilion, amphitheatre,
     observation points, tours of its caves and scenery, and the Mt.
     Morrison Incline Railway. Over time some of these features were
     scrapped, but the world-famous natural amphitheatre, whose first
     professional concert was in 1908, was fully built out in 1936-41
     by the Civilian Conservation Corps according to the design of
     Burnham F. Hoyt. Today, with its new visitors center, and 1931
     Trading Post pueblo designed by W.R. Rosche, the Red
     Rocks Amphitheatre continues to entrance concert goers, while
     even more visitors as in times old remain entrances by the park.
     Among the many strange and wonderful rock formations that may
     be seen today include Creation Rock, Ship Rock, Cave of Saturn,
     Cave of the Seven Ladders, Sinking Titanic & Iceberg, Sphinx,
     Lone Angel, Old Fashioned Tea Kettle, Caves of the Melian Nymphs,
     Gog & Magog, Lizard Head Rock, Park Cave Rock, and more.

     17155 West 44th Avenue (Colorado Railroad Museum)
     National Register - December 14, 2000
     State Register - 2000

     This is one of only 3 steam locomotives remaining from the Florence & Cripple Creek
     Railroad, which ceased operation in 1912. Afterward, it was purchased by the
     Rio Grande Southern, which ran the engine on its route from Durango to Ridgway

     State Register - June 12, 1996

     To cut costs but continue to maintain service in southwestern Colorado during
     the Great Depression, the Rio Grande Southern came up with the innovative
     invention of the Galloping Goose.  Basically put, a Galloping Goose was a
     souped-up automobile on rails, which could transfer passengers or freight.
     Goose #2 was built in 1931 and retains its original design.

ROCKY FLATS HISTORIC DISTRICT
     1951-2005
     Highway 93 north of Golden
     National Register - May 19, 1997

     Rocky Flats, which drew its name from the historic Big Rocky Flat
     upon which the plant stands, was originally constructed in 1951 and was
     among the few places under 50 years of age designated by the National
     Historic register, due to its exceptional national importance.  Rocky
     Flats was the second military weapons plant constructed in Jefferson
     County history, and from 1964-89 was the sole producer of the
     plutonium triggers used in nuclear weapons.  Obviously a major
     center for the development and production of atomic weapons, it was
     closed as the Cold War was ending, in 1989.  After cleanup of its
     radioactive remains, the historic district was destroyed, though some
     basements remain today beneath the prairie.

ROMANO RESIDENCE
     c.1929
     16300 South Golden Road
     Jefferson County Register - 2003

     Camp George West commander Leo Runstein built what remains one of
     the best examples of the stone rustic local movement of architecture that
     his camp helped inspire. Built in the Craftsman image but totally out of
     fieldstone, the home is in a remarkable state of preservation, not only
     its exterior with front wraparound porch and companion stone garage,
     but a time capsule interior complete with original linoleum, light fixtures,
     bathroom and furnace. As Rundstein had illegally appropriate its
    materials to build it, the home soon passed to Italian immigrants
     Samuel and Albina Romano, and it has remained proudly in
     family hands ever since. The Romano family home was part of the
     first group of Jefferson County landmarks designated in 2003.

ROONEY RANCH
     1860, Alexander Rooney
     Rooney Road & Alameda Parkway
     National Register - February 13, 1975
     State Register

     Pioneer rancher and stonemason Alexander Rooney originally built this place
     as the Iron Springs Ranch, its original home constructed of his own cut stone
     in 1860.  He built it with 18-inch thick walls of sandstone quarried from the
     hogback behind the house.  Still in the Rooney family, the Rooney Ranch
     today is among Colorado's longest-lived ranches.

SCHALL RESIDENCE
     1868
     612 10th Street
     Golden Register - August 11, 2005

     “I WILL NOT BECOME A PARKING LOT!" exclaimed this house on a sign
     posted out front during the 1970s as everything else in its block fell to parking lots,
     and so it has refused to ever since. One of the first and oldest remaining duplex
     houses in Colorado, it originally had twin front doors and windows clear up to a
     rose window on the 3rd floor (now attic) when Hubert Derclaye and Victor Reiner
     built it in 1868. During the 1870s it became the home of Joseph G. Schall, owner
     of a prominent downtown bookstore who helped spearhead the Belle Vista Hotel.
     Later it became home to German immigrant Julius Schultz, who founded the
     Goosetown Tavern down the street, and wife Rosa. Descendants remodeled the
     home in 1947 with asbestos shingle siding, which 60 years later in 2007 was
     stripped off the reveal the uniquely patched antique home underneath.

SCULPTURED HOUSE
     1963, Charles Deaton
     Genesee Mountain overlooking Interstate 70
     National Register - February 24, 2004
     State Register - 2003

     “People aren’t angular. So why should they live in rectangles?” asked Charles Deaton,
     the self-taught Expressionist architect of Denver. In response, he dedicated himself to
     building sculpted buildings and homes, intending this a home and studio for himself.
     One of his most beloved works, it has been known by many names, including the
     Flying Saucer House, Clamshell House, Sleeper House, and Sculpted or Sculpture House.
     Its main structure consists of a double clamshell of concrete sprayed on a welded steel
     framework upon an oval pedestal of reinforced mixed pink granite concrete precast
     columns pinned into bedrock. The elliptical three-story house, oriented to protect from
     the prevailing winds, has many panes of glass in its clamshell of which no two are alike
     the doors, windows, closets, and walls all curved, with Deaton envisioning “watermelon
     seed” beds to be tucked up against its cupped walls. Built for $100,000, Deaton never
     lived here, but it did star in Woody Allen’s movie “Sleeper,” despite the fact Deaton
     himself never considered the building futuristic. Deaton, who designed places as noted as
     Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium said “On Genesee Mountain I found a high point of
     land where I could stand and feel the great reaches of the Earth. I wanted the shape of it
     to sing an unencumbered song.” After decades of abandonment John Huggins, onetime
     director of economic development for Denver, bought the increasingly vandalized property
     in 1999, and hired Deaton’s daughter Charlee and her husband to renovate with an
     originally envisioned addition to complete Deaton's vision. The original main building consists
     of one bedroom on each of its 3 floors, including a master suite in the clamshell. It also
     contains 3 bathrooms, a study, an office, a spiral staircase with crescent-shaped steps
     leading between the levels, the elevator that inspired Woody Allen’s infamous Orgasmatron,
     and a living room with dazzling views of the mountains and metropolis. The addition sweeps
     back behind and below the main house, including a caretaker’s suite, 4-car garage with the
     only right angles in the entire place, kitchen (relocated to the addition from Deaton’s original plan),
     pantry, study, as well as a semicircular great room with freestanding gas fireplace and a
     bathroom with hot tub on top. A Murphy bed makes room for an extra guest, while the roof
     of the addition is an outdoor deck, and the addition connects to the main house via stairway.
     The furniture, like the home, is custom-made, down to the freestanding glass sinks upon
     copper pedestals in the master bath to the curving kitchen cabinets, with carpet designed with
     squiggles Deaton himself drew out, the inside illuminated to make the walls softly glow.

STEWART BLOCK
     1892
     922 Washington Avenue
     Golden Register - July 22, 1999

     Golden Mayor James E. Nankivell with partner Robert E. Jones built
     this place to be their new grocery store in 1892, an upgrade from
     the original Nankivell & Jones Block diagonally across Washington
     Avenue from it.  The second floor served as the lodge of the Knights
     of Pythias, whose initials remain upon the second story window
     keystones of the Avenue facade.  After the grocery went down with
     the Silver Crash in 1893, it served as the grocery of brothers George
     Washington and Caleb Ellsworth Parfet, and around 1900 it was
     purchased by Elvyn Ellsworth Stewart, who renamed the building for himself.
     Around that time a large mural advertisement for McLaughlin's Coffee
     was painted on the south wall, one-armed painter Chester C. Rogers
     transformed into Rocky Ford Cigars with its trademark American
     Indian emblem during the 1920s, of which that emblem remains,
     preserved by successor painter John Walker and Robert Stewart as
     "a symbol of the true American." After the upper floor served as the
     Woodmen lodge and a meeting place of the Ku Klux Klan, and the
     grocery closed in 1944, Coors brewmaster Leonard Vogel converted
     it into a recreation center, and later it served many years as a laundry.
     During the 1980s it was restored to its present appearance.

TALLMAN RANCH
     1883, Anders Tallman
     Golden Gate Canyon State Park west of Golden
     State Register - June 14, 1995

     Established in 1883, the Tallman Ranch was among several
     settled in the Golden Gate Canyon area during this time period.
     It is the first rural landmark of Swedish immigrants to be designated
     in Jefferson County.  This area was home to a large population of
     Swedish immigrants dating to the establishment of Nils Ahlstrom's
     Swedish colony on Ralston Creek in 1869, and the immigrants
     scattered into nearby rural and urban areas, establishing Colorado's
     1st Swedish Lutheran church of many in Golden in 1873.  The
     Tallman Ranch is also the 1st designated ranch of the historic
     Golden Gate Canyon area community.

THIEDE RANCH
     Approximately 6 miles west of Golden
     National Register - January 11, 1996

     area, one of Colorado's oldest rural settlements.

TRIPP RESIDENCE
     c. 1908
     700 6th Street
     Golden Register - August 26, 1999

     Edward Tripp, of the pioneer family of the Golden region, built
     this handsome brick house on the far north side in Golden around

     siding, it is the first landmark of the Tom Cat Hill neighborhood
     to be designated, and the first of the Tripp family.

12TH STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT
     1859
     11th, 13th, Elm, & Arapahoe Streets
     National Register - September 22, 1983
     State Register
     Golden Register - 1984

     The oldest residential neighborhood in Golden was established in 1859
     with its first building constructed at 12th and Cheyenne.  From that time
     the neighborhood grew into a modest but nevertheless attractive collection
     of largely brick residential structures.  Homes of Swedish immigrants
     line11th Street, while homes of Golden merchants and industrialists
     sprang up along 12th.  The district's oldest remaining home is the
     original Kelly Residence at 914 12th Street, which originally stood at
     the front of the lot.  It was built by pioneer physician James Kelly in 1865 with
     a frame clapboarded appearance, and was moved in 1922 by Fred Struck
     and given its stuccoed bungalow design.  The District's youngest historic
     building is the Willoughby Arms apartment complex, built in 1956 at 1221 Illinois Street.
     Prominent local citizens whose homes are here include Joseph E. Standley,
     Thomas Gow, James Kelly, Peter Ahlstrom, Carl, Charles Jr. and
     Oscar Nolin, Nils Bengson, George West, John Collom, James W. Maddux,
     Soren Sorenson, Simon E. Parshall, Samuel T. Floyd, Moses Wyman,
     Charles H. Case, Frederick B. Robinson, Elmus Smith, Charles H. Judkins,
     Nicholas Koenig, George K. Kimball, the Tripp family, Marcellus C. Kirby,
     John H. Titus, Archie M. DeFrance, and John H. Parsons.  Onetime resident
     Emily French has had a book made on her life. The elegant tree-lined streetscape
     was designed and planted in 1900 by gardener P.H. Murray, with flagstone walks
     laid by James H. Gow, making 12th Street Golden's historic Lovers Lane.

VIVIAN MANSION
     1927, Frederick Mountjoy & Francis J. Frewen
     1 Orchard Lane
     Jefferson County Register - 2003

     John Charles Vivian, the only Jefferson County native to have served as
     Governor of Colorado, built the original 2-story central portion of this home as his
     country mansion in rural estate of Wide Acres in 1927. A 3rd-generation Jeffco
     resident and son of one of the most powerful political bosses Colorado ever knew,
     Vivian made his own mark as Colorado’s 38th Governor. Under the pen name of
     Vivian Varian his poetry and epigrams gained publication nationwide, and he lived
     here with his wife Maude, a professor of the School of Music at the University of
     Michigan, whom with he became very active in promoting Denver’s performing arts.
     Vivian served as Golden City Attorney (1914-17), and after serving in the Marines
     during World War I became Jefferson County Attorney for 10 years. He then
     became Lieutenant Governor under Ralph Carr in 1939 and ascended to the
     Governor’s chair in 1943 for two terms. During Vivian’s time in office, since
     Colorado had no official governor’s mansion, this home became that, which
     with its carved wood interior staircase, floors and ornate exterior fit the office well.

ZIEGLER RESIDENCE
     c. 1939, Lawrence W. Billis (probable)
     510 16th Street
     Golden Register - July 27, 2006

     Placed in the heart of the East Street Historic District, the Ziegler Residence is
     a designated landmark of its own right, long the home of Mel Ziegler who
     designed and engineered the transformation of the Coors Brewery plant
     from a regional power to the largest single brewery in the world. It is one
     of a number of English Norman style cottage homes built around the Golden
     area, likely by the same construction team of Lawrence W. Billis. Although
     slated in their time to last around 25 years, these well-built homes are still
     standing strong today.
