Manitou Springs became a popular summer resort as early as 1877, and the Historic Barker House (seen in the background of this photo) has been around since 1881. People used to stay there while taking the "water cure" at the nearby mineral springs. Today, the Barker House is an apartment complex for senior living, with some bistros and shops on the first floor.See: http://www.experiencecoloradosprings.com/travel.asp?pageid=17%7C57%7C113%7C158
