Early concept for the Table Mountain Inn - Golden Transcript - October 18, 1990 - Click to enlarge

35 Years Ago
The October 18, 1990 Golden Transcript captures an interesting moment in time. The Holland House Hotel had been closed for several years. New owners had at last come forth. Bart Bortles, Frank Day, and Arthur Wong had agreed to buy the building from the Golden Civic Foundation. Bortles estimated the total cost of the project at $1.7 million.

They had already decided that the hotel would be rechristened as the "Table Mountain Inn. The drawing that appeared in the Transcript shows that the design didn't start out as southwestern.
