Golden History: Losing Big Trees

88 Years Ago
The March 10, 1938 Colorado Transcript offered this sad article: “90-Year Old Trees Felled to Make Way For Street Widening.”

Some of the oldest residents of Golden are going to their last reward this week.

The article explained that the massive cottonwood trees that lined Ninth Street west of Washington Avenue were slated to be cut down. The City was planning to widen the street. WPA workers were going to be installing curbs and gutters.

These giant trees were planted by the city’s first settlers in the late 1850s and the early 1860s. They have attained a growth of over 50 feet and the trunks of some of them are more than 15 feet in diameter. Their removal is a ticklish job to prevent damage to houses as they are taken out to make way for an improved street.

This earlier photograph from the Denver Public Library shows that same neighborhood before the trees were planted. DPL estimates that the photo was taken between 1860 and 1880 – enlarge
