Exterior view of the Ute Iron Springs Pavilion, in Manitou Springs, Colorado, looking northwest. The lower level of the west end of this building has a stone arcaded patio, topped by an enclosed, frame second floor with hipped gable roof and a sign on the top that reads: Ute Iron Spring. The one-story frame east end has a hipped gable roof with a widow's walk and ornamental dormers, and a striped, dagged canvas awning over the projecting gable window from which hundreds of glasses of soda water lemonade were distributed daily in the summers. Lettering on the east end reads: "Pike's Peak souvenirs J. G. Heistand, collector and dealer in fine mineral specimens, native jewelry, furs, Navajo blankets, souvenir spoons, all kinds of specimens cut and polished, finest collection of souvenirs in the West." On the right, the two-story frame and gambrel roofed office has a sign: "Iron Springs Co. Office." The Iron Springs Hotel, with its many clipped gables, dormers and chimneys is right of center, and scrub and rock dotted hills fill the background.
