105 Years Ago
This advertisement for Grant Churches' Garage appeared in the November 4, 1920 Colorado Transcript. The garage must have done well, because in 1922 Mr. Churches moved from his location on 12th Street, building a new, bigger facility on Washington Avenue.
In 1927, he decided to convert the building into a big indoor swimming pool called The Golden Plunge. The pool business, while popular, didn't survive the Depression. The building was later a Labor Temple, then a department store. It's now the Buffalo Rose events center. The pool is still there, in the basement!
