THINGS FOUND IN AN OLD PHOTO ALBUM —
This July 2, 1929, photo of the Santa Fe Hillside Arizona train station came from an album full of pictures I purchased thirty to forty years ago. An unidentified adventurer compiled the images as he motored across the country. His series of albums had been dumped in a secondhand shop in Newark, DE. But, one containing photos from Maryland and Delaware Caught my attention, so I purchased that volume, which also had pictures of his western trips.
An internet search revealed that the Santa Fe opened the station in 1902. It was moved to Prescott, Arizona, much later. There the Iron Springs Cafe occupied it, but they closed not long ago. Hillside, an apparently abandoned community, is in Yavapai County.
Here is a link to a 2011 photo of the station when the Iron Springs Cafe occupied the structure.
This is so cool,,thank you Mike..
Thanks Mark.
