THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bl-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XIII Denver, Colorado, May, 1936 No. 3 History of the Tabor Opera House at Leadville DOROTHY M. DEGITZ* It was the evening of November 20, 1879. Crowds which all day had formed in groups along Harrison A venue to discuss the two vigilante hangings of the morning,1 now turned to lighter amuse ment and hurried toward the most talked-of building in Leadville, the new Tabor Opera House. :B'or weeks the newspapers had been full of the wonders of this ''largest opera house west of the Mississippi,'' the second real opera house in Colorado, the Central City Opera House having been opened in 1878. The crowds gathered by carriage and on foot. The latest fash ions in leg-o'-mutton sleeves rubbed agaim;;t the roughest of mining togs ai;; the throng pushed down the main thoroughfare of the boom town, itself less than two years old, although it had now a popula tion of some 15,000. The 800 people who were fortunate enough to command tickets for the opening performance shoved through the crowd of curious and opened the swinging doors to find themselves in a hall' 'broad enough to admit a regiment.' ' 2 Passing up a flight of stairs they came into the largest amusement hall in Leadville, and "the only one where decent people would not be afraid to go.'' Excited ushers soon led the first nighters of the parquet and clress circles to their ~eats, "Anderson's patent opera chairs elegantly upholstered in plush, the same as those used in Wallack 's, Daly's, and the Mad ison Square of New York.'' ~ Once seated, the crowds looked curiously around at the car peted aisles, frescoed ceilings and the stage curtain, a view of the Royal Gorge which nudging neighbors whispered had cost $1,000. -

All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION and KEY
All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2020. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e. a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 will be coded “07”. The next two characters identify the type of grant. In the case of grants that are awarded based on specific application due dates, the grant round in which the project was funded will be paired with either a letter or number. -
