Stock certificate book of The Broomfield Company, 1964. The book is 8.25" x 14" with black cover and brown adhesive binding.

One certificate taped back into the book was originally issued to the Turnpike Land Company on October 1, 1955. It was cancelled and returned on January 31, 1964, after the Turnpike Land Company was liquidated by decision of the Board of Directors. The Turnpike Land Company had used The Broomfield Company and its assets to develop the Broomfield Heights community. The Company's new owner, Transamerica Development Company, sold off all remaining assets in the Broomfield area into the 1970s.

Provenance

Notes

Custodial History: This book and its contents are part of a larger group of records originally owned by Bob Ide, who donated them to the Broomfield Depot Museum in 2012 (see accession 2012.7). He obtained the records from his employer, Transamerica Development Company, in the 1970s after he worked selling many of their assets in the Broomfield area. Transamerica had acquired the documents from Turnpike Land Company in 1964. The Broomfield Company had been a part of Turnpike since 1955.
