Deteriorating wallpaper from a a homestead in Independence, Colorado.
This old homestead in Victor, Colorado, has several layers of wallpaper peeling off to reveal the original wallpaper...Denver newspapers dated 1899. It must have been a little girl's room, because Victorian paper dolls were cut out and pasted on top of the newspaper. Then the wallpaper covered the dolls with many layers.
The Theresa Mine started producing in 1895 and was shut down in the 1960s. You can explore the inside of this mine by hiking the Vindicator Valley Trail in Victor, Colorado. the Sangre de Cristo Mountains are in the background.
