Title	Golden City
Summary	An early view east over Golden, (Colorado Territorial Capital 1862-1867) Jefferson County, includes scattered wood frame residences and sheds, false front businesses, corrals, and a two-story brick block. Original description printed on back of stereograph: "Golden City, the Capital of Colorado, and 12 miles from Denver, showing a range of hills running parallel with the mountains. Clear Creek runs through the center of the town, furnishing a fine, excellent water privilege; also supplies a ditch with water for irrigation. The first range of mountains are to the back of the observer, and but half a mile distant. The best of fire brick is made from clay obtained in its immediate vicinity, and the montains at this point are said to abound in coal, iron and lead. It is proposed to establish Rolling Mills here, to supply the middle division of the Pacific Railway with iron."
