Description

A 35mm color slide of an old bank vault at the Broomfield Lumber Company building, 7905 West 120th Avenue, 1979. According to research done by Broomfield Depot Museum staff in 1979, the Broomfield State Bank on 120th originally opened in 1924. Joseph Huddart bought the bank's building shortly after it closed during the Depression in 1933, to use for his lumber business. The bank's vault remained after the building changed ownership. The image shows an open, square vault door leading into a small vault space. An ornate archway design can be seen just above the door. Shelves, boxes, papers, a clipboard hanging on the wall, and what appear to be cash drawers can be seen surrounding a closed safe placed on a patterned, tile floor inside the vault area. Inscription, ink, on the front paper border states, "Vault in old Broomfield Lumber " and "Orig. Br. State Bank Built 1920."
