William McMurchy, a prospector, built the home. The original was just 200 square feet; by 1890 he expanded it to 700 square feet, which is how big it is today.

Two other owners occupied the buildings before the Zupancis family purchased it in 1930. In 2002, the city of Aspen purchased the buildings from the Zupancis family. Now that the city is using the land, which sits next to the Pitkin County Jail, for the police department’s new headquarters, the The Zupancis property in 1939

WALK THROUGH WHEELER OPERA HOUSE HISTORY

If the Wheeler Opera House brick walls could talk, they’d have a lot to say. They can’t, but Travis McDiffett, an Aspen Historical Society guide and professional actor who’s performed many times in the storied building, can help tell the iconic structure’s tale. Debuting this winter is the Wheeler Opera House History Tour, offered for free on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m.

Since the opera house was built in 1889, it’s been a source of pride, and contention, for the town. From suspicious fires and near-bankruptcies to an elephant on stage and a stomping ground for John Denver, it’s been a site for legendary performances. In recent years, the 128-year-old building has been completely renovated, featuring a new balcony, upgraded lobby and more spacious bar area.

Learn more about the Wheeler’s colorful past and please join for The Aspen Historical Society’s Aspen History 101 followed by a free screening of “Aspen Extreme” on Jan. 12 to kick off WinterskÖl. PARTNER PROJECTS

The Aspen Historical Society is the community’s resource and repository for the town’s treasured objects and images. In 2016, we proudly partnered with a diverse set of organizations to ensure that history is tracked. Here are some of the projects we accomplished and relationships we continued:

Aztech Mountain Heifara Rutgers was born and raised in Aspen, and his Aztech Mountain menswear reflects that. Take, for example, the Italian-made down-fill jacket, which has a Herbert Bayer print on its lining. Each year, he partners with the Aspen Historical Society to find a singular, striking image to be included in his high-performance outerwear line.

Aspen Times 1950 Herbert Bayer image More than 130 years of Aspen Times newspapers are stored with the Aspen Historical Society, and digitized copies of these newspapers through 1963 can be viewed online. But that doesn’t mean our job is done; in 2016 AHS processed another 595 images to add to the Aspen Times Collection and we made another 2,100 accessible online. Search archiveaspen.org for your favorites. One of ours is pictured here.

Ski Splash, 1978

Ski Catalog Our collection is full of skis – 193 to be accurate. Of those, two-thirds were made after 1960. Last summer, ski technology expert Evan Winn curated our collection, and analyzed just what the collection means to the ski industry. He created a timeline tracing the evolution of ski technology, along with the various innovations that happened. This information is now available from our collections team. One thing is certain: Skiing now is a lot easier than it used to be.

Homemade ski, 1885

Aspen High School Yearbooks Go back in time to figure out who was Aspen’s biggest flirt in 1998 or what graduating seniors had to say about each other in 1910, all from the comfort of your computer. We recently digitized Aspen High School yearbooks from 1909 to 2010 (some years are missing; if you have yearbooks prior to 1982 please let us know), and anyone can now browse them at archiveaspen.org. That means decades of real local history — stories and images about the kids who grew up here — is available at your fingertips. Look for embarrassing photographs of mom and dad, or even yourself. It should be great fodder for many Throwback Thursdays to come. 1989 ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY BOARD OF TRUSTEES ASPEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY: Jim DeFrancia, President Jackie Kasabach, Vice President Allocation of Income and Expenses Chace Dillon, Vice President Rich Burkley, Treasurer For Year End October 31, 2016 Barbara Platts, Secretary Carl Bergman For full financials and current balance sheet please visit www.AspenHistory.org Lauren Burtard Jane Floyd Nicole Gogolak ANNUAL INCOME ANNUAL EXPENSES Ruth Owens Hanrahan Jacqueline Ruger Hutton Earned Kate McBride Income Jay Parker Contributed $125,180 Collection Margaret Reckling Income & Exhibits Jill Teehan Edinger $155,643 Education $161,565 Tony Vagneur & Programs $264,589 ASPEN HISTORIC PARK & RECREATION DISTRICT Development BOARD OF TRUSTEES & Marketing $194,772 Fred Peirce, President Stefan Reveal, Vice President Public Funds Mike Marolt, Secretary/Treasurer $783,500 Administration Site Carolyn Barabe $187,190 Management Thomas Todd $132,094 VOLUNTEER HISTORIAN Larry Fredrick, Historian
