Golden History: Railroad Fever
Colorado Transcript - July 27, 1870 - open
Click to enlarge
154 years ago, Golden was all atwitter at the imminent arrival of our railroad. The Transcript gave regular updates on the construction crews as they graded the way between Denver and Golden.
The Colorado Central grading is proceeding with commendable energy. The grade will be finished in 10 days and as soon as they are done, track-laying will commence.
The railway buildings were also under construction in late July: The two side walls of the freight depot are up, and the whole of the brick work will be finished the week, when Messrs. Parsons & Curry, the contractors, will commence the large commission house adjoining the foundation of which is ready for them.… The foundation of the round-house is progressing as rapidly as necessary.
Several other construction projects were underway in town, as people anticipated the prosperity that would come with the railroad. John Bush had begun construction on his Golden House hotel at 13th and Arapahoe. Unfortunately, that magnificent structure burned down just eight years later.
A new planing mill was being planned to go in next to the Brick Flouring Mill at 11th and Washington (current site of the Golden Hotel).
Of most lasting interest to us is the construction of the Golden Transcript’s building. The new Transcript building is up and the roof on. That building is still with us today, at 1115 Washington Avenue.
Many thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and many thanks to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!

‘Don’t be daunted’: Why climbing in Colorado is for everyone
By John Renfrow
Golden Transcript
Perhaps a more captivating piece of evidence that humans truly descended from apes is our natural inclination to climb. We see something big and we want to conquer it, stand on top of it and say that we did. From ascending neighborhood trees as children to summiting mountains when searching for ourselves in our 20s, something about reaching the top is awe-inspiring... Read more...
Golden’s Curtis Blaydes ready for biggest fight of his life with interim heavyweight title on line at UFC 304
By Kyle Newman
Denver Post
Heading into the biggest fight of his life, Curtis Blaydes is ignoring all the naysayers.
With heavyweight champion Jon Jones holding out for a matchup against Stipe Miocic, does Blaydes’ interim heavyweight title bout against Tom Aspinall mean as much? Should Blaydes be mentioned in the same breath as Jones, who is perhaps the greatest fighter ever?
Blaydes, a Golden resident, doesn’t care about those storylines... Read more...
