The "Parks Album" was acquired by the Western History Department in the 1930's, with no documentation or other information. It appears to be an inventory of buildings and facilities in the Denver City & Mountain Parks network. There are many interesting "small architecture" examples that will interest builders or "tiny house" aficionados. To find out more about this entire group of 695 digitized images in our Digital Collections, visit our blog about the Parks Album.
