Call NumberX-2600CreatorMessick, Turner B.Date1930-1939SummaryView of the back of storefront buildings in Central City, Colorado. Garbage and vegetation litter the foreground. A telephone post stands near the row of brick and wood buildings on the left. A wooden fire escape is attached to the back of each building. A dilapidated, one- story building is to the right. It is a wood structure and the tar paper is peeling off of it. A two-story, brick building is in the background, has two faded, worn, signs attached to it. Neither is readable because both are obscured by the building in front of them. Wood frame houses are on the hill above the town.Physical Description1 copy photonegative ; 10 x 13 cm (4 x 5 in.); 1 photoprint : black-and-white ; 16 x 21 cm (6 1/2 x 8 1/2 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectCentral City (Colo.)Geographic AreaCentral City (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710002600Type of MaterialFilm negativesPhotographic printsBlack & white photographsDigital Version Created FromW.P.A.
