COLORADO LOOKOUTS
LEADVILLE POSTOFFICE
December 13, 1912: "Assistant Supervisor Robert E. Clark's annual report, some points from which mentioned last week, also describes the fire lookout stations within the Leadville national forest.
There are three of these stations. One is on the roof of the postoffice building in Leadville, Mr. Clark's report states that men in the government office on the second floor of the federal building go up on the roof every two or three hours every day to survey the forests in that district. This station is classed as 'secondary,' falling short of perfection, though affording a satisfactory view of all the forest area immediately adjoining the city of Leadville." (The Blue Valley Times)
