nrhp # 66000243- The Georgetown–Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District is a federally designated United States National Historic Landmark that comprises the Town of Georgetown, the Town of Silver Plume, and the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park between the two silver mining towns along Clear Creek in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Clear Creek County, Colorado, United States.
The district includes well-preserved examples of the buildings and mining structures of the Colorado Silver Boom from 1864 to 1893. The Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park includes the reconstructed Georgetown Loop, a spectacular example of 19th-century 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railway engineering required to negotiate the 601 feet (183 meters) of elevation rise in the mere 2.0 miles (3.2 kilometers) between the two towns. Historic steam locomotives pull passenger trains over the loop from late May through the beautiful Autumn colors of early October. Guided tours of the Lebanon Silver Mine are also available.
The district was designated a National Historic Landmark on November 13, 1966.
Gold was discovered in Georgetown by George and David Griffiths in 1859, and Georgetown eventually took its name from the former. The gold finds in the area were relatively minor, but a major lode of silver was discovered in 1864, kicking off the local boom. Georgetown became a center for thousands of miners operating in the surrounding hills. Silver Plume was developed as one of a series of satellite camps, and in 1884 the Georgetown Loop Railroad was built, connecting the two by rail. Mining declined in the 1890s, and the area has since had a relatively low population.

I’ve been planning this shot for a while now. I orginially had the idea for this shot in the winter, so everytime I went to Georgetown I brought my camera with me. But then there was something about the cold air, cars flying by and the fact that this shot would look the same in the winter and in the summer that convinced me that I could delay it for a few months.

Georgetown é um bairro no noroeste de Washington DC, ao longo da orla do rio Potomac. Foi fundado em 1751 muito antes da criação da cidade de Washington e do Distrito de Columbia (DC).
Remember this? I took this photo maybe 10 years ago when the artists from the Washington Shoe Building were first talking about moving to Georgetown. How many years ago was that? Notice, no 9 Pound Hammer, no coffee shops, no Smarty Pants. I took a tour of the upstairs apartments, they smelled like urine and there were rat droppings in the halls. On the bright side, look how much parking there used to be? for my recent article
