The postcard is printed by the Albertype Co. of Brooklyn, N.Y., Postcards of Quality, Published by The Davis Drug Co. Leadville, Colo. #42. Hotel Campion at Twin Lakes, Twin Peaks in Background. Beautiful Resort near Leadville, Colo. The image is a clear & crisp albertype of the Campion Hotel with high mountain peaks surrounding it. A leader in Colorado\'s financial affairs, John F. Campion built a private summer home at Twin Lakes in 1895. He had made a fortune by investing in Leadville\'s mines, particularly the Little Jonny & Ibex properties. He invested in the sugar beet industry in eastern Colorado, among other businesses& owned a mansion in Denver. (What? One mansion isn\'t enough?) This massive villa at Twin Lakes was large enough to accommodate a bowling alley & an electric power plant at the narrows between the lakes. After his death in 1916, his lavishly appointed property becamea hotel & later burned. It\'s a handsome building in a gorgeous setting & a nice piece of Leadville history for any Colorado collector.***Be sure to check out my other Colorado postcards that I have listed.***
