Weird Photo Wednesday, October 22nd, 2014

Interior view of the Manitou House Hotel office, in Manitou Springs (El Paso County), Colorado; decor includes taxidermy mounted squirrels, a lynx, a beaver, birds, a rabbit, and deer. A Regulator clock, rifles, pistols, a safe, and a kerosene lamp are on the wall; a man with mutton-chop sideburns rests his arm on the guest book. Men in bowler hats play cards, and a woven runner reads: "Land Office."
Office, Manitou House
[between 1875 and 1880?]

Let's talk to the animals! Are they alive? How about the squirrel on the lamp? Seems like the gentlemen in the office aren't too concerned about the bird, beaver and rabbit hanging around. How strange! For more weird or strange photos, check out our Digital Collections!
