Retaining walls and railroad tracks are at the base of the crag behind; atop is a faceted stone tower with battlements and a balcony. Well dressed men and women pose on the sidewalk; one has a perambulator with a child in it, others are on horseback. Foothills are in the background. These structures were demolished in about 1950.Physical Description1 copy photonegative ; 10 x 13 cm (4 x 5 in.); 1 photoprint on cabinetcard ; 12 x 20 cm (5 x 8 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectCanon City (Colo.)--19th centurySprings--Colorado--Canon City--19th centuryGeographic AreaCanon City (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710002487Type of MaterialCabinet photographsFilm negativesNotesFormerly F26695.
