Located in Golden, the Astor house was built in 1867 by Seth
Lake, a man who had become rich from the mining activity around
Golden City. Lake "spared no pains or expense" in making his
new hotel "the handsomest as well as the most substantial
hotel building in Colorado." He used horse-drawn stone barges
to move the stone necessary to make the walls of the hotel
18 inches thick.
The once hotel now serves as one of the few museums portraying
turn-of-the-century frontier boarding house life.
