Caption: The Boston Company
Additional Description: Lured not by the riches to be made from mining the hills, but from “mining the miners,” the Boston Company set up the first mercantile in Golden in 1859. Along with selling every manner of supply an eager prospector might require, the second floor of the building was home to the Western Mountaineer, founded as Jefferson County’s first newspaper by publisher George West. — Golden History Museum
