Abstract

Young cattle feed on the farm at the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society (JCRS). An unidentified man stands in a corral with the cattle, while another unidentified man in the background harnesses two horses. The JCRS was a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients that was founded in 1904 by a group of immigrant Jewish working men along with the support of several leading physicians and rabbis in Denver, Colorado. It was located on West Colfax Avenue just outside of Denver.

Dates: between 1910-1940
