The Pavilion is a shingle style building with a knee-high rusticated stone foundation, a cross gabled roof, and cupola; a banner waves from a pole on its peak. The open air pavilion has a sunburst in the fancy woodwork and a sign over the entry: "Soda Springs." The Cliff House is a three-story frame structure with hip gable roof and a projecting central square tower; the gable roof and dormers of the south wing are visible over trees; the three-story faceted tower is on the right. A sign "Cliff House" is on the central tower at the level of the soffit. A boulder is at the junction of Ruxton and Fountain Creeks; footbridges cross both. A sign reads: "Drink from the Manitou Soda Springs." Electric wires criss-cross the image; scrub dotted bluffs fill the background.Physical Description1 photoprint on cabinet card ; 13 x 21 cm (5 x 8 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectManitou Springs (Colo.)Hotels--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.)Soda Spring Pavilion (Manitou Springs, Colo.)Geographic AreaManitou Springs (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710001626Type of MaterialCabinet photographsDigital Version Created FromCliff House, Manitou.NotesTitle hand-written on front of cabinet card.
