Help Define Golden's Character!
Golden is a unique community full of eclectic neighborhoods, diverse architecture, and historic streets, and we need help cataloging them. Golden Building Blocks is a new, community-driven exercise where the City is asking you, the community, to help us put the best of Golden’s character on display. Over the next several months we want you to take pictures of the buildings and city blocks that you feel best represent the community of Golden and its character.
This exercise will help the City better understand the elements of our city’s homes, buildings, and streets that best reflect Golden’s small-town character. Through this understanding, we will be better able to preserve the character of Golden through future city initiatives. Is it a roof, a yard, a porch, a building’s orientation? Is character best reflected by the sum of all the houses along a city block? Is it the landscaping? You tell us!
How to Participate
As the days are getting warmer and we are all in search of sunshine and exercise, we think this is a great opportunity to break our COVID-19 blues. We are asking the community to take photos of the elements that best capture the spirit of Golden and post them below with a description of how the element contributes to Golden Character. All photos will be on display for the public to view and react to, and who knows? Maybe the photo with the most "likes" will receive a prize!
We hope you will help contribute!

We need your help! Take a walk through your neighborhood and take pictures of all the elements you see that best reflect Golden’s small-town character. Maybe it's a roof-line, or a particular porch you love. Maybe it's a front-yard or a walkway. You tell us with your images.
While we encourage you to stay in your neighborhood, if you feel compelled to move into another area to capture the image of an element that you think is important, please feel free to add it to the collection.
Working with a partner or a small team is encouraged, but please be safe and try to limit your group to your family members or a limited number of teammates. Please wear a mask and practice safe distancing of at least six feet between individuals. And please take pictures responsibly without trespassing on your neighbor's property. We want this to be a positive experience for everyone!
In addition to taking pictures, we want you to look through the collection as it grows and "heart" the element images you like best. Have fun as we, as a community, determine the "building blocks" we want to use moving forward as we plan the future of Golden.
PLEASE BE SURE TO TAG THE GENERAL LOCATION OF EACH PHOTO!
