Summary |
The Broadwell House on the corner of Hunt and 6th (Sixth) streets in Alamosa, Colorado, is one of the buildings moved into Alamosa from old Garland City. Men pose on the boardwalk on the corner in front of the two-story clapboard building. One man pushes on the water pump handle. Two women in long dresses stand next to the side of the building. Two other women are in the corner window above the double front door. A small child in a hat leans out an upper window. The hotel features a corner entry door with transom and decorative cornice, large pane sash windows, and two store fronts on 6th Street, one with a striped awning. The hotel's sign sits on the top of the building at the corner, with returns reading "Broadwell House" on both sides. The corner panel is a painted mountain scene. More wood frame buildings, including a false front, are on 6th Street. There is a horse drawn carriage parked along the boardwalk. |
