Creator(s)	Moss, Elmer.
Summary	Exterior view of the public school in Georgetown, Colorado, built in 1874 and used until 1938-39. The two-story brick building, which has seven large classrooms and accomodated four hundred children, was also a center for many civic activities. The building includes a central section with a gable, a large double window with a rounded pediment, "Public School 1874" carved into stones set into the brickwork, a belltower, and flagpole. A wrecked automobile and a large machine sit in the yard, which is loosely enclosed with an irregular, weathered wooden fence. Tree branches in the foreground frame the central tower; other buildings along Taos Street and the mountain are behind.
