The Cliff House, a four story frame and stone structure with hipped, gabled roof, dormers, open porches, balustraded balconies, towers and palladian window is central in the image. The Soda Spring Pavilion, a cross-gable roofed frame structure with cupola, ridgcresting and sunburst-formed woodwork in the gable has a sign over the entry that reads: Soda Spring. People are in the pavilion, milling near the white, round well around the spring. The stone bridge over Ruxton creek is to the right, flanked by the cylindrical stone shelters over Cheyenne and Navajo Springs, each identified by lettering on their conical roofs. The trolley is on Manitou Avenue, and several women in white dresses are in front of it. Three fringe topped surreys head east in the foreground, and a rocky bluff is in the lower right. Scrub dotted bluffs fill the background; frame bungalows are on them in the left, and a stairway climbs the bluff on the right.Physical Description1 photonegative : black-and-white ; glass ; 21 x 26 cm (8 x 10 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectManitou Springs (Colo.)Springs--Colorado--Manitou SpringsCliff House (Manitou Springs, Colo.)Geographic AreaManitou Springs (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710001785Type of MaterialGlass negativesNotesFormerly F15720.
