Exterior view of Grace Episcopal Church, Georgetown, Colorado, looking northeast. The wood construction church, built in 1869, has a steep gabled roof and a small gabled entrance vestibule in which there is a double door set into a pointed arch, with a window in the tympanum area. There is a cross at the apex of the vestibule gable, and a lamp hangs in front of the window. A small quatrefoil window is located above the vestibule on the facade of the church. A small addition with a slanting roof and a door has been added; a set of stairs approaches the entrance from the right. The brick chimney on the roof is topped by a pipe which bends to follow the slope of the roof; there is a small narrow window in the roof near the chimney. A rough stone wall is in front of the church; Griffith Mountain is in the background.
