Redlands Company ranch house, Mesa County, Colorado [1913] Broadway Mesa County Colorado USA Near the location of the current Two Rivers Winery, across from Panorama subdivision A large bunkhouse and facility maintained for agricultural workers who labored in the Redlands’ orchards and fields in the 1910’s, 1920’s, and 1930’s. The agricultural buildings, including a large bunkhouse for men employed to work the orchards, were located across from what is now the Panorama subdivision. The bunkhouse housed 75 to 100 people. It included a kitchen to feed the workers that was manned by Blanch Bowers, who later moved to the State Home. William Rump, whose father Charlie Rump was one of the owners and operators of the Redlands Company, provides this description: “…there was a complete kitchen which was manned and staffed by Mrs. Blanche Bowers who, later, when the company dissolved, moved out to the State Home. In fact, they have a Bowers Building. Maybe it is the commissary or something out at the State Home, named after her. They had their own dairy. They had their own icehouse. They went down to the river in the wintertime and cut ice and brought it back up into the icehouse. They had their own meat cellar. They cooked and cured their own hams and bacons and everything associated with pigs, the whole works. Most of the men were housed and worked out of this main ranch house. There was a West Camp, which consisted of probably one family plus a lot of equipment, just this side of the Monument, out what is still known as Highway 340. There was a South Camp.” yes yes
