View north across Leadville, Colorado shows a booming town filled with log, board and batten and other wood frame constructed houses, lean-tos, false fronts, sheds, barns and outhouses. Horace A.W. Tabor's house on Carbonate Avenue (East 5th Street) is in the center with its projecting bay window and decorative front gable. A "Meat Market" is in the foreground with a horse drawn wagon in front of it. Several wood frame buildings and the Annunciation Church are under construction. A square church tower with a gothic window, picket fences, and piles of lumber are in the view, with sparse evergreens and a mountain slope in the background.
