Leopold H. Guldman Formal Portrait, between 1925-1935
Abstract
Formal portrait of Leopold H. Goldman. He was one of Colorado's pioneer philanthropists. Born in Bavaria, he came to Colorado in 1870 in search of silver but found it more profitable to open the Golden Eagle clothing stores in Leadville and Cripple Creek. In 1879, Guldman moved to Denver the third and most successful Golden Eagle enterprise. For many years, it was Denver's leasing popular-price department store. Guldman's philanthropy contributed... to the growth of National Jewish Hospital, the JCRS, Beth Israel Hospital, and the Guldman Community Center, which later evolved into Denver's Jewish Community Center.
