Title	Ice rink in the Leadville Ice Palace, 1895
Summary	Interior view of Leadville, Colorado's Ice Palace skating rink, built for the 1896 Winter Crystal Carnival. Cobble & Kerr built the 80 x 190 foot long rink with wooden trussed roof designed by architect C.E. Joy. Ice arches are along the edges of the rink and umbrella-shaped chandeliers hang fourteen feet above the ice with mutli-colored electric lights in their globes. An exhibit of hanging bicycles and the letters "Law" hang above an ice sculpture of miners by Phillip Kelly. The display has a rope barrier and is reflected in pink, on the ice. A group of wooden chairs sits in the archway and banners hanging in the arch advertise "Ice Palace Restaurant, Oyster House." The skate rental booth is in the archway.
