Title	Alamosa
Summary	Several buildings were moved to Alamosa, Colorado, from Garland City in 1878. Men stand on a boardwalk, posing in front of some of them. From the left to right are Sabine, Thomas, Putnam, Hill and Anthony. Thomas has a hand trick with full sacks of vegetables. Two small boys sit on a sack and wooden crate. A man stands in an open entry on the far left. The sign for "Haskins & Ball" marks the leading suppliers of groceries and drugs. "Field & Hill" has a storefront with large pane windows and painted faux marbel wood kickplates, pilasters, and bracketed cornices. Goods displayed in the windows includes bird cages, hats, clothes, china, tea cups and pitchers. "Cigars, Tobacco, Stationery" is on the windows and "Duddleson" and "Successor Field & Hill" is on the kickplates. "Dr. B.F. Haskins" is on the pilasters and several additional signs mark a busy area.
