This is the photo of the ruins of the school in Golden appearing on page 10 of Varney's book (1981).

This is the photo of the school taken by me on April 13, 2001.  In the 20+ years since the photo above was taken, it has fallen further down.  The building behind it is in much worse shape.  The little wooden structure to the left of the DO NOT PASS sign seems to have held up well, however.
