Description
Photograph of Drennen's cabin, near his stamp mill and concentrator, on the Colorado River, 1900-1950. The small adobe cabin has a thatched roof over the porch covering, at right, a large pile of firewood. The mining operation (not visible) sits near the water's edge on a rocky embankment below a wooden watertank in the background. Wagon wheel tracks curve around the cabin toward the water tower. The river and opposite shore are in the background.
