Call NumberC-64CreatorCollier, JosephDate1875-1900SummaryStereographic view of men and women standing on the platform and stairs in front of the ticket office at Beaver Brook Station near where Beaver Brook meets Clear Creek on the border of Clear Creek and Jefferson counties in Colorado. A sign on the station building advertises "Lunch and Refreshments." A large water tank with a sign "Beaver Brook" stands adjacent to the station platform. The station was a popular location and had a dance pavilion just above it on the hillside in the left midground. A tent is set up at the base of the rocky hillside below the pavilion. Several cases, possibly for camera equipment, stand near the tent. A man leans over a case in the center midground across the tracks from the station. Large rocks and a wood walkway across the brook are in the foreground.Physical Description1 photonegative : glass, stereograph ; 17 x 22 cm (6 1/2 x 8 1/2 in.); 1 photoprint : half stereograph ; 18 x 12 cm (7 x 4 3/4 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectSigns and signboards--Colorado--Clear Creek County--19th centuryClear Creek County (Colo.)--19th centuryJefferson County (Colo.)--19th centuryBridges--Colorado--Clear Creek County--19th centuryDance halls--Colorado--Clear Creek County--19th centuryHills--Colorado--Clear Creek County--19th centuryRailroad stations--Colorado--Clear Creek County--1870- 1900Railroad tracks--Colorado--Clear Creek County--19th centuryStreams--Colorado--Clear Creek County--19th centuryGeographic AreaJefferson County (Colo.)Related MaterialImage File: ZZR700130064Type of MaterialGlass negativesPhotographic printsStereographsNotesBeaver Brook, Colorado Railroad stations Prints penciled on back of print.
