Summary	A long log cabin with a corrugated sheet metal roof on Fall River in Alice, was a Clear Creek County, Colorado. The largest mining camp settled in the early 1880s in the valley below Saint (St.) Mary's Glacier. The cabin features a side gable, heavy chinking, square corner notching, sash pane windows, and wooden doors. A "Post Office" sign hangs above one door and wooden crates, washtubs, hand saws, evergreens and snow patches are in front of the cabin. Other cabins are in the background. The post office was established in 1898 and discontinued in 1939.
