This must be a very early picture of Guggenheim Law building with Cottage No. 1 and its board fence at the right. Note that the inscription above the columns is simply "LAW SCHOOL" which was later changed to "SIMON GUGGENHEIM LAW BUILDING". Glory Colorado pg 152 reports that Senator Guggenheim originally asked that his gift of the money for the building remain anonymous but that he later withdrew this requirement and the building was named in his honor. Ground was broken for this building January 14, 1909. By November 11, 1909, the building was known publicly. The building was dedicated November 24, 1909. This picture must have been taken in the spring of 1910 (the leaves are out).
