Land and water assets were ultimately used by Turnpike Land Company to develop the Broomfield Heights community until 1964. The documents were originally stored in a ledger book of stock certificates (2012.7.1a) on the inside cover, and correspond with stock certificates returned by Broomfield residents and other stockholders.

Provenance

Notes

Custodial History: This document 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, which itself had previously acquired the records of Broomfield Reservoir and Ditch Company in 1955; Broomfield Reservoir and Ditch was founded in 1921 by the Zang family.
