M I S S I O N JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION NEWS 1999 In July 1999 the JCHC celebrated its 25th anniversary with a luncheon party at Mt.Vernon Country Club. Country singer Roz Brown provided entertainment, including “Home on the Range” and “Colorado Waltz” accompanied by his autoharp. UCD History professor Tom Noel recounted Jefferson County’s history with slides from the greatest natural land- marks to recent structures, including the County courthouse and “the Taj, that some day will be treasured like the Eiffel Tower or the dome of Monticello.” He praised the Commission for its writers contest, especially as an incentive for the young, and for the opportunities the Commission provides to college interns to work on historical projects. He also stated that Historically Jeffco is the only magazine published by a county historical commission in Colorado. Jack Raven succeeded Sharon Carr as chairman of the Commission in the Spring of 1999, after she resigned. Five new members were welcomed to the Commission: Gerald Grunska, Robert Lochary, Lawrence Lotito, Standish Penton, Jr., and Scott Pierson.The talents of these new members will be much appreciated in the years to come. We regret the resignation of former chairperson Sharon Carr, who was one of the charter members of the JCHC, appointed in 1974, and has given much of her time and effort to the Historical Commission and numerous committees. Mary Bindner, who also was a charter member of the JCHC and appointed in 1974, is also leaving the Commission this year. Mary was active as chairman in 1997 and has contributed to the former historic preservation task force and the committee for Hall of Fame. She ran the Festival of the West for many years. We will miss both of them. EDUCATION In April, a group of Commission members attended a daylong workshop on the preserva- tion of family treasures at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. Professional con- servators from the Arvada Arts Center, the Arvada Historical Society, the Molly Brown House Museum, and the Rocky Mountain Conservation Center shared their knowledge about the intricacies of conserving old objects, such as books, textiles, (continued on page 44) Photo above courtesy of Arvada Cover photo courtesy of Coors Brewing Company Historical Society Library Collection Vi Mae Hader, Max W.

Then came the work that sustained the people on the land. The land was marked with imag- inary lines that became a territory, and then a state, with shorter imaginary lines that became coun- ties in the state of Colorado. One Colorado county was named “Jefferson,” (as in twenty-four other states) honoring the princi- pal author of the Declaration of Independence and third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. President Jefferson was a native of Virginia who never traveled into the landscape of prairies, rivers, lakes, mountains, valleys, and deserts stretching toward the Pacif- ic Ocean. President Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark in 1804 to explore the American Continent west of the Missouri River. Fur trappers and traders followed. Pioneers came to the future Jef- ferson County in the 1860s hoping gold would make them rich. But only a lucky few found it. -4- a year. Free to leave Baltimore where the ship had docked, he began an uncharted journey west. After laboring with pick and shovel, Adolph began to work at the Stenger Brewery in Naperville, Illinois in 1869. In European tradi- tion, he had been apprenticed to a brewer at the age of fourteen. He learned more about the brewery business at Stenger. After three years, at age twenty- five, he left Stenger to search for new opportunities in the west. His departure may also have been motivated by John Stenger’s desire for Adolph to marry one of his daughters. Using money he had saved, he bought a partnership in a Denver bottling business in 1872. In less than a year, Adolph had become All Coors photos courtesy of Coors Brewing Company the sole owner of the business and Left: Coors workers Above: Coors delivery wagon was selling bottled beer, ale, cider, Below: Adolph Coors, who opened Coors Brewery in Golden in 1874 when he wine, and seltzer water. was twenty-six years old.

    CITY TECH WRITER OUTSTANDING STUDENT WRITING FROM ALL DISCIPLINES VOLUME 1 2006 JANE MUSHABAC, EDITOR IN CHIEF Cover by Yifang Gonzalez New York City College of Technology City University of New York Introduction City Tech Writer is a most welcome addition to the College. The distinction between personal writing and academic writing is no longer as sharp or absolute as it once was; however, unlike a more traditional “literary” magazine that focuses on poetry and fiction, City Tech Writer is somewhat unusual in its focus on the writing—and the thinking—that students are doing as part of their course of study. Writing may be a solitary act or it may be collaborative, but all good writing is done with an audience in mind—the conscious reader who follows the line of thought, sometimes contesting its logic, sometimes nodding in agreement. City Tech Writer makes that audience real. In so doing, it both celebrates and stimulates good writing. My thanks to Professor Jane Mushabac, a writer who knows how to inspire and nurture new writers, to the faculty members who have guided their students’ work and nominated it for inclusion in City Tech Writer, and especially to the City Tech writers themselves. Bonne August Acting Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Preface In this inaugural issue, City Tech writers take us to the glass pavilion at the Brooklyn Museum, a village in Nigeria, a warehouse in Japan, a tractor and combine exhibition in Poland, a restaurant in Union Square, a crack-house in Bed-Stuy. The papers discuss campus speech codes; nurses’ renewal of licenses; the scientific method in the thirteenth and nineteenth centuries; and the problem of space, time, and motion.

TWIXT OCEAN AND PINES: THE SEASIDE RESORT AT VIRGINIA BEACH, 1880-1930 Jonathan Mark Souther Master of Arts University of Richmond, 1996 Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director This thesis descnbes the first fifty years of the creation of Virginia Beach as a seaside resort. It demonstrates the importance of railroads in promoting the resort and suggests that Virginia Beach followed a similar developmental pattern to that of other ocean resorts, particularly those ofthe famous New Jersey shore. Virginia Beach, plagued by infrastructure deficiencies and overshadowed by nearby Ocean View, did not stabilize until its promoters shifted their attention from wealthy northerners to Tidewater area residents. After experiencing difficulties exacerbated by the Panic of 1893, the burning of its premier hotel in 1907, and the hesitation bred by the Spanish American War and World War I, Virginia Beach enjoyed robust growth during the 1920s. While Virginia Beach is often perceived as a post- World War II community, this thesis argues that its prewar foundation was critical to its subsequent rise to become the largest city in Virginia.

    Chapter 4 The Denver Mountain Parks System 56 The Denver Mountain Parks System The Denver Mountain Parks The System 57 Chapter 4 The Denver Mountain Parks System 4.A. Systemwide Recommendations Recreation Recommendations Background Today, those who visit the Denver Mountain Parks (DMP) represent a broad cross section of people in demographics, where they reside, and how far they travel to enjoy these mountain lands. Visitors to the Mountain Parks are cosmopolitan – a true mix of cultures and languages. With the exception of African-Americans being under- represented, the Mountain Parks reflect the same diversity of age and ethnicity as occurs at Denver’s urban parks. Although visitors to the Mountain Parks represent the spectrum, many come from low to middle income households. Typically one third of those who visit either a Denver Mountain Park or another county open space park are Denver residents. Another third reside in the county in which the park is located. The last third are visitors from other counties along the Front Range, visitors from other parts of the state and nation, and international visitors. Together, mountain open space lands owned by Denver, Jefferson County, Douglas County, and Clear Creek County are used recipro- cally. Together, they are a regional Front Range open space sys- tem where each county provides its own lands and facilities for the enjoyment of its own residents, recognizing that these lands are also enjoyed by all visitors. The goal for Denver Mountain Parks is to provide the amenities and programs that take advantage of but do not diminish the valu- Red Rocks Park able natural and cultural resources and that meet today’s recre- ation needs and desire to connect kids with nature.

Renewed support from both state and local legislatures paired with brewers’ preference towards sustainable best practices, has placed Virginia in a position to become a leader in the growing sustain- able craft beer industry. Craft breweries in America are defined as “small, independent, and traditional”: a craft brewery operation generally produces six million barrels of beer or less annually, is not primarily owned or controlled by an alcoholic beverage industry member that is not itself a craft brewer, and combines traditional and non-traditional ingredients with innovative fermentation and brewing techniques.

    Why Did Molson Coors — a Beer Company That Is One of Colorado’S Most Iconic Brands — Move Its Headquarters to Chicago?

    Why did Molson Coors — a beer company that is one of Colorado’s most iconic brands — move its headquarters to Chicago? Company says need for marketing talent weighed heavily in decision to leave Denver The Coors Brewery can be seen from Vanover Park on Oct. 30, 2019, in Golden. By Aldo Svaldi | [email protected] | The Denver Post ‐ November 3, 2019 Uprooting a company nearly 150 years deep in a community is never easy, and Molson Coors Brewing Co.’s decision to shift its corporate headquarters from Denver to Chicago involved a lot of deliberation. “The leadership team and board struggled over it and agonized. We looked at this every way you could imagine,” said Adam Collins, chief communications and corporate affairs officer for Molson Coors. But in the end, one consideration dominated more than any other — marketing. “Marketing was the true reason,” said Matthew Hargarten, another company spokesman. Not Denver’s ability to market itself, but rather Molson Coors’ ability to find and retain the marketing talent it needed to roll out a host of new products designed to appeal to shifting consumer preferences in a world of flattening beer sales. Molson Coors said Wednesday it would close its Denver corporate headquarters, eliminating or moving 300 jobs. The move, part of a larger reduction of up to 500 jobs, is expected to save the company $150 million a year. That money will be used to fund product innovation and boost digital marketing. But Colorado isn’t just losing high‐paying jobs. Part of the state’s corporate identity is being stripped away, and its biggest foothold in the consumer goods market has slipped away.

    Chapter 2 Context & Change 22 Red Rocks Park The Denver Mountain Parks Context and Change 23 Chapter 2 Context and Change 2.A. History of the Denver Mountain Parks The “City Beautiful” pavilions and malls of the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 held in Chicago influenced how cities would be built across the country for decades and caught the imagination of Robert Speer, who became Denver’s Mayor in 1904. Mayor Speer immediately put vision into action, including the bold idea to extend Denver’s parkways (via Alameda Parkway and Colfax Avenue) right up into the mountains so that Den- ver residents and tourists alike could experience the beauty and recreation found in the foothills. Denver may have been built on the high plains, but Mayor Speer, John Lookout Mountain Park Shelter Brisben Walker, and other civic lead- ers saw it as both the “Paris on the Platte” and the “Switzerland of the Rockies.” The Denver Real Estate Exchange, Chamber of Com- merce, and Motor Club all formed the Mountain Parks Committee. Their report began “A Mountain Park for Denver will be the first step, and perhaps, the greatest step, in the great movement of making our mountains available for the people.” Genesee Park By 1912, this body, acting on Denver’s behalf, Echo Lake Park had hired the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects of Brookline, MA, to develop a plan. Olmsted Jr., and his assistant, surveyed the mountains by horseback. The 1914 Plan by Olmsted is a thorough “A Mountain Park for Denver will be the first step, and, perhaps, the but unassuming collection of letters and reports with lists of parcels greatest step, in the great movement of making our mountains avail- to purchase and pages of sensible political and funding advice.
