Cos old pics of this place are rare. I love old pics and comparing them to new pics of the same place. Fortunately, photographing was popular in Colorado around the 1880's as the State was being discovered. Not of the same place, but it's the same train thingie. Late 1940's and today.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I have one like that of my house, The first photo was given to my wife by the daughter of the baby girl in the photo, she was on the palliative care ward where my wife works. she was born in our house and died last year at the age of 90 This one was taken we think in the 40's  And this a few years ago look at the growth of the trees on the hill behind you wouldn't even know there is a quarry there. The houses on the right have appeared and the road is now paved all the way, i wish it wasn't though  8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 We don't have a grocery store in town, or a petrol station or any other kinds of shops, but goddammit - we have an Opera House. Cause you never know when an opera might break out at any given moment. Pics from today, what looks like the 1920's and 1880.... 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, once the people in the town quit chopping them down for building and fuel, they came back pretty fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Some more Then and Now pics of my local area. We always called this place the "Schiller Hotel" - I had no idea that it had been named a bunch of other names over the years. Anyway, found some cool colorized pics of the place. dates range from the 1880's to the 1940's.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
