Park City Colorado Townsite - Ghost town
Park City Colorado is one of those towns that came into existence due to the stage lines. Four stage lines went through Park City on a major route leading over mosquito pass . As the railroads came it was of little importance and dwindled in size.

2-8-2007,Great photos. I am trying to identify the building where Carl Petterson and his wife had a bar, dining room, cafe and an apartment upstairs. I was a niece who stayed upstairs in the fall of 1939. I don't suppose you happen to know which brick building that was? Thanks for the photos anyway.

Thanks for the great photos. I lived in Park CitY, in 1935, 1936. and 1937,until a mine accident at the London Butte MIne and an uncle John Reynolds died. We lived in a slab house, and later in one of three white white frame houses up the hill. The landlady ANN ? had a two story house that I stayed in when I had the whooping cough. I went to school for the first time in Park City. Someone has been working on these houses. R. C Rempe, Plainville KS,
It was a nice surprise to see the photos of Park City, CO. The small cabin, top half white and bottom brown, belongs to my parents and I believe it is one of the 3 white ones mentioned by R. C. Rempe. The Landlady was probably Ann Moore who's two story home burned to the ground in the 1960s. The school house is still there but is not pictured and has been altered quite a bit.
The only building I know of that might be the one owned by Carl Peterson is on the other side of the hill further up the pass from where these pictures were taken and was known as the Orphan Boy Bar, later owned by Dacon Judd who turned it into a home.
I hope that this might help those who left e-mail. - G. L. Eggleston
