Thing of the past ...

Creator: Jackson, William Henry, 1843-1942

Date: 1872-1880

The Manitou Soda Spring in Manitou Springs, Colorado, looking northwest; shows the rustic gazebo with its branch uprights and benches, a man standing next to it, the boulder at the confluence of Ruxton and Fountain Creek with several children atop. A group is gathered around the stone ring-basin from which the spring originates. The men are in sack suits and straw hats, and a woman wears a white shawl, derby bonnet and draped overskirt. In the upper right is the Cliff House Hotel, a three story frame building with hipped gable roof, wrap around porch and widow's walk. A sign on the top of the widow's walk railing reads: Cliff House.
