Wrong!  It is the Union printers home.  Still there today just beyond the
park.  R. Hull

>Yes, I did work it out on my own (for verification's sake), but the first
work on the matter which actually pin pointed Kiowa and Foote streets was
done in the 80's and it was printed up as a research paper in some Tesla
related periodical which I can't remember.

In the Colorado Springs Notes both the school for the deaf and blind and the
Union Printer's Home can be seen in various shots of the lab.  The deaf and
blind vacility is real tought to see and is at the opposite point on the
compass to the Printers home.  Printers home was to the rear and right side
of the lab as you face the front entrance and the School for the deaf and
blind could be seen looking out of the front door.  They are both still
there, but can't be seen from Kiowa and Foote streets intersection. (Too
urbanized and grown up)
