Original old Street Scene from 1882 - St. Elmo, Colorado - Now a Ghost Town

in #steemitphotochallenge7 years ago (edited)

I found this original old photograph at a flea market years ago. There is an old hand-written caption on the back that states: MAIN ST / ST. ELMO / 1882. St. Elmo, Colorado, is in the Sawatch Range in Chaffee County. It was an old gold and silver mining town that became a ghost town many years ago as the mines played out. It is about 7 x 5 inches. You can see a billiard hall with men out front is in the foreground. Other businesses are seen along the street, including a meat market, “Little Church”, and two restaurants. A RARE old west mining photo. @froghollow
