Golden History: A Great Sign

Steve’s Corner Western Wear store opened at the corner of 13th and Washington in the fall of 1976. Two years later, they put up their signature sign–the rampant stallion.
48 Years Ago
This photo from the June 28, 1978 Golden Transcript captures the day it went up. The caption that went with the photo used plenty of 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Steve's Corner closed in the early 2000s and was replaced by Starbuck’s--which has since been replaced by Red Silo Coffee Roasters.
