Golden History Moment

*Construction beginning on the Hall of Justice – Colorado Transcript – September 10, 1964*

The September 10, 1964 Colorado Transcript reported that the county was short on courtrooms, and that judges were “Playing Musical Chairs for Courtrooms.” Construction was just beginning on a new $1.5 building for the courts.

*Photo on the left was taken by Bill Robie in 1966 and shows the 1965 Hall of Justice. Photo on the right is a Google Satellite image and shows that same property used as a parking lot. – enlarge*

The Hall of Justice opened in 1966 and was demolished in 1993. The School of Mines has been using that land as a parking lot for the past 19 years, but they have big plans to develop it–in fact construction has already begun.

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!
