Notes
Original photograph was found with a pair of photograph albums owned by Katherine Hillen Renfroe, daughter of Robert H. Hillen (named after his grandfather). As a child, Robert lived for a few years at the Superior train depot with his grandparents, C&S Railroad station agent Robert Hillen and wife Jeanne "Jeanie" Malott Hillen. The albums were put together by Jeanne Malott Hillen, who intended to give one album to grandson Robert and his younger sister, Rose Hillen (later Rose Hillen Watson). Jeanne probably assembled the albums sometime in the 1930s. Ultimately, Rose became the sole owner of the albums before passing them on to Katherine Renfroe, Rose's niece. Photograph 2015.20.19 was probably taken sometime in the 2000s; it is a photograph of another photograph that was taken in the 1890s. In 2015, select photographs from the album were scanned by Broomfield Depot Museum staff and volunteers, and then formally accessioned into the Museum's collections. The Broomfield Depot Museum Collections do not contain the original album(s), or photographic prints therein.
