Karl Christian Krumpholz

Karl Christian Krumpholz
The Colfax Museum would like to recognize all of the creative people that have contributed to our cause. It's so true that Colfax Avenue has inspired countless painters, photographers, musicians, poets, writers, artists and creative types of all kinds
 
Today we want to thank the incredible Karl Christian Krumpholz, a brilliant artist and true Colfax devotee, for his contributions to our museum, including this Schuyler Colfax illustration. Vexatious Rickets indeed!

Marley Liquor

With all the dispensaries in town, I thought Marley Liquor was a little bit comical, and very Colfax! They even have a boot to boot! (photo by Jonny B.)
