Old Photos of Longmont, CO

[CC]

about 1910. I saw where some are from CO. and finally went and dug these out. If I remember right F. Gordon mentioned Longmont at one time. Anyway not sure who was the photographer on any of these but know they are about 1910 and no later than 1913 as my grandparents were not married yet.

Now going to go look for the Steamboat Springs photos if any one is interested.

1. Wow! Your grandmother was a babe!

The snow photos were really cool. Must have sucked big-time shoveling out your spoked carriage wheels to attempt to navigate the roads in the days before combustion-engine-driven plows.

2. these are really cool

thanks for sharing.

It's hard to believe how much things changed in under 100 years.

3. I wish I had some family photos from that far back...

...but either my ancestors didn't think "that photograph thing" would amount to much, or they decided no one in the future would be interested in pictures they took, and threw them out. In any event, I have practically nothing pre-WWII. :-(

4. Someday your greatgrand children will be looking at your photos

and will be going "Can you believe they drove cars? They actually had to fill these with pertroleum once a week".

10. "Whatever that 'petroleum' stuff was..."

;-)

Actually, my greatest fear in that regard would be that, by the time any great-grandchildren of mine are around, data formats will have changed so much that no one will be able to display something as archaic and out-of-date as a JPEG or other current graphic format...much as I cannot find any equipment that could show my first film (shot on Sony 1/2" reel-to-reel videotape).

5. Would love to see the Steamboat Springs photos

You're so fortunate to have these. I have old photos from both sides of the F' family. I have a real soft spot for nostalgia and history. Thanks for sharing these.

My award-winning :crazy: snapshot of June Bride for the Flower contest was taken in Longmont.

8. I loved

June Bride . I did put up the Steamboat pictures. Going through looking for them has me wanting the other two photo albums now. Just to talk an uncle into mailing them, that is the hard part. I know there are a couple pictures of one aunt and one uncle in front of the Denver Stage Coach in one of those albums. Course they both look like girls with long blond hair and their clothes.

6. Thanks for the memories

Lived near Longmont in the 60,s and loved the town. Still visit my brother in-law there on occasion.
Loved you family portrait in your tag line. What program did you use to make them?
