Cabins
Caption reads "Cabins at Sweetwater Lake" although this may not match the actual location. (Leadville?) There are nine men in the photograph-- two are standing on either side of the main cabin at center with the door open. Both wagons are full.
Cabins at Fulford
The cabins of Forest Cave, right, and Charles "Heimie" Hemberger, left, at Fulford, Colorado. Cave served as Eagle County Treasurer from 1937-1963. Heimie would serve as Clerk and Recorder for one year before a successful run to the Colorado State House of Representatives (1926-1930). Hemberger acquired many properties at Fulford by paying the back taxes on them.
