School Days

    Speaking of historic architecture in Cripple Creek Colorado - this is "our" new B&B. The Carr Manor www.carrmanor.com is the lovingly renovated school house from the 1890's. Kirk and I are not only innkeepers but we are custodians of this beautiful building. It is truly a pleasure to serve breakfast in the old cafeteria and show guests into the old class rooms now made into guest rooms. We have had several guests who's parents actually went to school here!  However it is now much more elegant than it was then. Look at this photo of the main hall-

    



 

 Gary and Wini, the owners, have kept many of the original touches such as this wood stove which is not currently in use and the chalk boards in each "class room" which are very much in use. If you look closely you will see K.C.+K.R.=TL [OK, Kirk wrote that but how sweet, huh?]
