Here are a few photos of Palmer Lake from 1882 to 1910 taken from the Denver Library Web Page.  Very high resolution copies of these photos may be ordered from the Denver Library for a reasonable price.  I bought several photos of Estemere from them and I plan to buy several of these photos, as well.  I highly recommend you check out this great resource!  I found these photos by entering "Palmer Lake" into their search engine.  Also, try "estemere" and "estamere."
