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.
