Can anyone place the location of this hi rez image
Chena River Waterfront, Fairbanks, Alaska?
St. Elmo
38d42'20"N 106d20'42"W
Looking north and a little bit east at the back side of Mt. Princeton.
just a guess, though..it could be anywhere in the Rockies, but it looks like east slope.
dunno..
but after your last photoblog of Candle..I was curious so I web searched and found this interesting site.
The date of the photo looks like about 1885 to me (although elsewhere on the web it's been dated as 1900). The town has telegraph lines, but doesn't really look like a mining boom is in progress. (The telegraph lines may have arrived with the Silverton Northern Railroad in 1896.) So, maybe a small mine that played out early was in the area. (It turns out that Eureka wasn't a boom town. It was basically a mill town and died after the mill closed in 1939.)
Very good, Rich. Here's a link to a 1943 photo of what appear to be some of the same buildings that show up in the 1900-vintage photo Daryl posted.
