Although Golden's streets are laid out at approximately thirty degrees west of true north, the building's main entrance is generally thought of as facing south, onto 10th Street. The building is in good condition and is sited so that its south facade and west elevation are highly visible from Washington Avenue, Golden's historic "Main Street." Although there were additions to the building during the 1950s and 1960s, the 1924 Golden High School retains a high degree of integrity in terms of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
