Last weekend we had another snowstorm in the metro area. During the morning commute, there was a thin layer of snow remaining at the DU light rail station. These two pieces of real estate were snowed under.

Later in the week, I took vacation day for mid-week snowboarding at Keystone. There was fabulous snow and untracked powder… if you knew where to look. On the return home, I stopped off at Silver Plume to take a look at some of the original Victorian era houses. Silver Plume is one of mining towns where silver mining took place in the 19th century. There seems to be a thriving community of antique stores in the older buildings. Santa Claus was busy, sitting on the ladder!
Santa In The Window
Some of the original main street businesses are now homes. Here is one of the windows, decorated with colorful drapes and what appears to be Buddhist manuscripts.
Colorful Manuscripts
At the entrance to one of the stores a pair of antique chairs sit on display.

The Silver Standard Building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, as noted on the placard. This building houses the US Post Office.

The interior of the Post Office is adorned with period pieces. Original photographs hang from the walls. Also, just inside the entrance are these ornately sculpted mailboxes. Each mailbox appears to have some form of combination lock that allows access to their contents.
Brass Mailboxes
Enjoy.
