H.A.W. Tabor Hose Cart Team poses on May 4, 1879, in u-shape formation on Harrison Avenue, a dirt road in Leadville, Colorado. The firemen are in uniforms with jackets, hats, gloves and belts. The cart donated by Tabor is decorated with American flags and fabric in wagon wheel spokes. Several of the men in the center of the group hold bugles or horns. Two young boys stand with the group. Businesses in the background include Henry E. Assayer, Claredon Hotel, and R. E. Allen & Co. Dry Goods. Some of the building have false fronts; others are brick with a few stories and decorative cornices.
