Manitou Springs, Colorado: Manitou Cliff Dwellings

I found some additional information about the authenticity of the buildings in the Manitou Cliff Dwellings Museum. Apparently they're even worse than reproductions -- they're reproductions mixed with looted, reconstructed ruins. I'm looking right now at a promotional booklet put out by the Manitou Cliff Dwellings Company circa 1925. This is their own description:

Portions of the Spruce Tree House, the pictureque Cliff Palace and the far-famed Balcony House as originally built in the Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado, have been here constructed at great expense. Careful measurements, plans and photographs of those ruins were made by the best architects and engineers; other Cliff Dwellings, built on private land, were then acquired and the walls of these ruins carefully taken down and the original stones shipped to Manitou, where exact reconstructions of the above named ruins were set up.

The booklet also states at the end:

Only the ignorant or malicious minded will tell you that a visit to these Ruins is not worth while because the prehistoric Cliff Dwellers did not build them here personally!
