Broadway, Eagle, Colorado
1910-1920: Looking northeast, Broadway Street. Front of E. E. Glenn & Co. General Merchandise clearly visible; Post Office sign on side of building. People (dressed as if for special event) gathered in front of store with wagons and horses. The bay windowed house to the right of the E. E. Glenn & Co. building was occupied by Alex Macdonell and family beginning in 1951. Mr. Macdonell was working for Holy Cross Electric out of Glenwood Springs but lived in Eagle. When the electricity went out in the Eagle Valley, it was faster service for him to live locally rather than drive from Glenwood Springs through Glenwood Canyon. Todd and Virginia Bowman lived in the two story house to at the far right and ran a mortuary there. Dick and Ann Miller later bought the mortuary from the Bowmans.
