Golden History: Duvall-Davison
From the 1893 Golden Globe Industrial Edition
Click to enlarge
For more than 80 years, there was a lumber yard at 13th and Ford Street. H. T. Quick started it in 1891. He hired George Duvall to manage the business, and in 1908, Duvall and a partner, Isaac Davison, purchased the business and renamed it Duvall-Davison. Davison died in 1926, but Duvall retained the full name. Duvall-Davison Lumber operated until George Duvall’s death in 1964.
That block had an unusual layout, in that it was split diagonally, with a Catholic church on the other half of the block. That happened because a natural stream–Kinney Run–ran diagonally through the block, as did a railroad.
After Mr. Duvall’s death (in 1964), Coors began negotiations with both the Duvall estate and the parish to acquire the land. St. Joseph’s needed a new, larger church with better parking, so the offer was welcome. Coors purchased both parcels in 1965, but continued to lease the property to St. Joseph’s and to a new lumber company (Gateway Lumber) until they were ready to build a new parking lot to accommodate brewery visitors.
Both the lumberyard buildings and the red brick church were demolished in the summer of 1973. Coors “undergrounded” Kinney Run (the stream). The railroad had been gone since the early 1950s, so Coors was able to put parking over the entire block.
It’s interesting to look at the Coors parking lot and think about what used to be there.
To end on a pretty note, here’s a postcard from about 1900 showing Golden, with St. Joseph’s red brick church front and center.

Having a Ball: Kayakers enjoy CWA’s newly-formatted downriver race
By Corinne Westeman
Golden Transcript
When playing sports outdoors, there can be some interference from the elements — the wind, rain or snow. But it is unusual to navigate the ball around a minefield of tubers, swimmers and other kayakers.
Still, six teams of kayakers managed it July 10, as the Colorado Whitewater Association hosted its annual downriver race – but with a new format... Read more...

Colorado Golf
BERTHOUD — Thursday’s first round of The Ascendant presented by Blue took roughly 10 hours to complete — at least for the threesome that featured Coloradans Zahkai Brown and Brayden Forte, and former Colorado Christian University golfer Sangha Park.
But for Brown, even with lightning — and strong winds and some rain — prolonging rounds for well over four hours at TPC Colorado, the wait was worth it.
The 2013 Colorado Open champion, who calls Golden home nowadays, shot a 1-under-par 71 on Thursday, which may be pedestrian by tour golf standards, but was pretty impressive on a day that the wind gusted to more than 30 mph at times... Read more...
