The Colorado Midland purchased the car from the Pullman Car Co. in 1887 for use as a first class coach.  It is one of the few surviving passenger cars from the railroad.

Located on the south side of South Table Mountain, the amphitheater was constructed by the WPA during 1933-35.  With an estimated 2,500 seats, it is the second largest of only four known historic open-air amphitheaters in Colorado.

Established in 1903, Camp George West served as the Colorado Army National Guard’s only permanent training facility.  The predominately stone and frame buildings constructed between 1903 and 1945 reflect the use of standard Army plans as well as unique designs by Guard architects for specific projects.

The 1867 church is one of the earliest examples of Gothic Revival style architecture on the Front Range.  It represents an introduction of this architectural style into Colorado by an unknown architect.

Associated with the early planning and development of Golden, the 1865 residence survives as one of its earliest dwellings.  The Italianate style is reflected in the two-story brick dwelling’s low-pitched roof, wide overhanging eaves supported by elaborate paired brackets, and tall narrow windows with curved window crowns. 

The residence was the home of the prominent Golden miller who owned and expanded the Rock Flour Mills during the late 1800s.

Opened in 1867, and believed to be the oldest stone hotel building in the state, the Astor House became very popular with the state legislators attending meetings in Golden, when it was the capital of Colorado.  In 1972, the two-story sandstone building was saved from demolition after local residents voted to have it purchased by the city for use as a museum.

The Ammunition Igloo was constructed in 1940 as part of a Works Progress Administration project and is also significant for its design.  

The original log home was constructed in 1883 for John J. Clark, who was elected to the state legislature in 1888.  Over the years, there have been several additions. 

Essentially completed by 1896, this large Rustic style residence was constructed over a ten year period for Mary Neosha Williams by John Spence, a native of Scotland who was a skilled carpenter and mason.  The irregular floor plan reflects the owner’s commitment to build around the many large evergreens on the site.  Walls of the one, two, and three-story residence are of log, and the foundation walls and chimneys are of stone.
