Ten thousand ton antique safe in the Idaho Springs Beau Jo’s Pizza. The safe has been sitting in the same spot for 100 years (literally) and needed a bit of fresh paint. The building used to be a bank. Idaho Springs was a gold mining hub in Colorado for many years…. think Molly Brown, gunslingers, and crooked sheriffs. This safe probably saw quite a bit of action. Recently though it was just getting coated in layers and layers of restaurant filth. There are two sets of HEAVY iron doors… the paint on the inner doors was still in great condition so I mimicked that painting style on the outside.
