	Herb Ringer labeled this photograph a "ski chalet" in 1952. Today it might be called "servants' quarters" (although we doubt they could afford the rent.)


	Post-war Aspen, Colorado was in the early stages of transformation to a New West Community, now best described as a town where the "billionaires chased the millionaires down the hill."
