At the time geologist Spurr took the upper photo he remarked that
Lenado was in a rather dilapidated condition, having been badly
affected by the Silver Panic. His picture was taken from above the
Leadville mine, both higher and farther to the left than the 1960
shot. The latter shows the dump of the Aspen Contact mine, the
original old barn for the mine mules and one of the old houses
dating from the 1880’s.
