Golden History: Still More Previous Uses of the CoorsTek Property
Excerpt from the 1882 Birdseye View showing houses on what later became CoorsTek property - click on the image to enlarge
In the past few days, Preston Driggers and I have described two previous occupants of the CoorsTek property--the North Side Garage and the Binder Warehouse. As the 1882 map shows, there were also a number of houses on that property.
Many houses also appear in the Sanborn Insurance maps, up through the final one, which came out in 1938.
Tree-filled residential blocks are still evident in this 1948 photo. In the years that followed, the houses were purchased by Coors and became part of the ceramics plant or a parking lot for the employees.
This house 612 10th Street (map) is the sole reminder of the residential blocks. According to the Assessor's Office, it was built in 1865.
