Steve's Horse
Left photo from the Golden History Museum collection | Right photo from the June 28, 1978 Golden Transcript
Steve’s Corner Western Wear store opened at the corner of 13th and Washington in the fall of 1976. It took them a couple of years to put up their signature sign–the rampant stallion.
46 Years Ago
This photo from the June 28, 1978 Golden Transcript shows the day it went up. The caption that went with the photo laid on the horse humor:
There was plenty of horsin’ around the other day at 13th Avenue and Washington in Golden. The object of all this horseplay was to get a horse atop the Steve’s Corner sign, of course. It was a nagging job which called for a lot of horse sense, but once up, the sign was something to bray about.
Steve's Corner closed in the early 2000s and was replaced by Starbuck’s--which has since been replaced by Red Silo Coffee Roasters.

Important Fireworks Information from JCSO
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office
Jefferson County, CO. – As the Fourth of July rapidly approaches, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is asking for your cooperation in accurately reporting the use of illegal fireworks. Each year, JCSO’s patrol units are out in force, along with some units dedicated strictly to fireworks complaints. However, deputies and dispatchers are quickly inundated with fireworks complaints, and the vast majority of these calls report the use of fireworks without a specific address. These types of calls severely impact and overwhelm the call system, causing a delayed response to other critical calls for service. In an effort to deliver a greater impact this year, JCSO needs your help. When reporting, we ask that you witness illegal fireworks use and provide a specific address... Read more...
