Call NumberX-1628CreatorJackson, William Henry, 1843-1942Date1872-1874SummaryScene in Manitou Springs, Colorado, of the Cliff House and Soda Springs, looking north. The Cliff House is a three-story frame structure with hip gable roof, wrap around porch and balcony, widows' walk, and one- story gable roof south wing. A sign on the roof reads: "Cliff House." West of the hotel, are tents that visitors rented when other accommodations were unavailable. A man stands next to the rustic, conical-roof gazebo over the Manitou Spring. Footbridges cross Ruxton and Fountain Creeks; a boulder is at the junction of the streams. Another gazebo is in the far left; in the foreground is Manitou Avenue and a rail fence; scrub dotted hills fill the background.Physical Description1 photoprint ; 21 x 26 cm (8 x 10 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectManitou Springs (Colo.)--19th centuryHotels--Colorado--Manitou Springs--19th centuryPedestrian bridges--Colorado--Manitou Springs--19th centuryResorts--Colorado--Manitou Springs--19th centurySprings--Colorado--Manitou Springs--19th centuryCliff House (Manitou Springs, Colo.)Geographic AreaManitou Springs (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710001628Type of MaterialPhotographic printsNotesPhotographer's name and address printed on mat.
