Ladders lean on the the south wing; horses, coaches, buggies, and wagons are in front of both buildings. One frame residence is behind; scrub and rock dotted bluffs are in the background. The Manitou Spring gazebo, in the foreground, has a round, rustic, conical roofed structure with benches around its perimeter. A boulder is at the confluence of Ruxton and Fountain Creeks; five children are atop it; and an outhouse is behind. Footbridges cross both creeks; a man is walking on the Ruxton bridge.Physical Description1 photoprint on stereocard ; 10 x 18 cm (4 x 7 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectManitou Springs (Colo.)--19th centuryHotels--Colorado--Manitou Springs--19th centuryPedestrian bridges--Colorado--Manitou Springs--19th centuryResorts--Colorado--Manitou Springs--19th centuryCliff House (Manitou Springs, Colo.)Geographic AreaManitou Springs (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710001624Type of MaterialStereographsDigital Version Created FromMrs. Carrie Morrison.Original Material Found in CollectionGurnsey's Rocky Mountain views.NotesAt head of title: No. 178.
