My Colorado Thoughts

6/22/2024

 
First Summer Blog
In the early days of Denver, Littleton was a separate town, and a half a day buggy ride from Denver. In those days travelers brought their lunch with them to eat on the way to Littleton. There is an historic houe on S. Curtice St. in Littleton. In those days the house belonged to a family that managed the Littleton Cemetery. It still stands on S. Curtice Street in modern Littleton.

As unlikely as it seems, the house became a newspaper office and eventually was owned by news writer Sonja Ellingboe. Ellingboe added a gift shop to the newspaper office.

The big news now is the house has been designated as a historical landmark. The grand old lady that played so many roles for so many owners is now a Historical Place.

New Release
