Description
Photograph of the dilapidated ruins of the Butterfield Stage Station and Hotel, about 4 miles south of Palm Springs, ca.1915. The ruins are on the "Smoke Tree Ranch" (Lunde Tree Ranch owned by Phil Boyd (?)). The brick wall of the right side of the building is still standing, although a large section is missing from the middle of it and the bricks are very worn. A wall on the left side, which has some sort of covering over the bricks, perhaps plaster, bears a large mural of a sun with a zigzag line above it. The building rests on a stone foundation and there is a ridge behind it.
