Shelton mural in the Golden Community Center - Click to enlarge

Whenever I visit the 2nd floor of the Community Center, I pause to admire this mural by Hal Shelton. It was originally painted to hang in the Empire Room at the Holland House Hotel (now the Table Mountain Inn).

There was a “sister” mural hanging in the other dining room in the Holland House–the Pioneer Room. That mural was called “The Founding of Golden.”
