- 1910, 1912 - 1917, 1919 - 1923, and 1925. Lillybridge photographed
his immediate neighborhood and made pictures that document physical
and economic change as the area shifted from agricultural to heavy

public work scenes, the growth of service and manufacturing industry,
transportation, and the encroachment of urban Denver on a small
rural enclave. His other broad subject is the leisure pursuits of
Denverites after the turn of the century. He photographed riverside
baptisms and trout fishing to picnics, concerts, and gypsy carnivals.
