Call NumberX-2068CreatorWolle, Muriel Sibell, 1898-1977Date1942SummaryExterior view of schoolhouse and Presbyterian church in Black Hawk, Colorado. The two-story square school has a medium center gable roof shape, horizontal clapboard siding, and pilaster corner boards. The entry way is a center door at the main facade with a detailed shelf surround head and moulded surround trim sides. A bell tower is in the middle of the roof (reportedly the first church bell west of the Mississippi). There is a flagpole out in front of the building. The building, mounted on the side of Bates Hill, required the building of the large rock wall with rail and stairs for a level surface to build on. A flagpole is in front of the school.Physical Description1 copy photonegative : black-and-white ; 7 x 12 cm (2 3/4 x 4 1/2 in.); 1 photoprint : black-and-white ; 8 x 13 cm (3 1/4 x 5 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectBlackhawk (Colo.)Education--Colorado--BlackhawkPresbyterian churches--Colorado--BlackhawkSchools--Colorado--BlackhawkGeographic AreaBlackhawk (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710002068Type of MaterialFilm negativesBlack & white photographsPhotographic printsOriginal Material Found in CollectionWH906.
