Creator(s)	Jackson, William Henry, 1843-1942.
Summary	Looking north on Harrison Avenue, Leadville, Colorado up a wide dirt street lined with one and two-story brick blocks and wood frame false fronts is the three story brick Tabor Opera House on the right with a painted sign "Opera, Herm[...], imported cigars, Anheuser Busch" on the side. Businesses on the east side of the street include Club Hyman's, with a round gaslight street sign and a sign "Keno, cash premiums, every evening at 7 o'clock" below. There is also a bookstore and a hat shop. The west side of the street includes "The Famous" the Lake County Courthouse with Lady Justice and her scales, and the Vendome Hotel (Tabor Grand) with the America flag in the distance. Horse-drawn wagons and a man on horseback are in the street; men in suits and hats are on the boardwalks. Tall power poles and the telephone company's "ten pin cross arms" with handbills on them are in the view. Many buildings have bracketed cornices and awnings. Hitching posts, street lantern lights, and large clocks on poles are also on the sides of the streets.
