Main Street in Breckenridge, Colorado, includes the Denver Hotel during festivites. The open porch has a crowd on its balcony, bunting hangs on its balustrade, and American flags are behind the spectators. The two- story, frame building features paired gables with a shared, low false front. Lettering above a line of sash windows reads "Denver Hotel" and above that a half round window is set in each gable. A two-story building on the left is covered with bunting and flags; a projecting sign in its gable reads "Eclipse Theatre." People on the dirt street stand in a cordoned off area with their attention focused on a dense crowd on the right. Smoke rising from the street among a group suggests fireworks, and commercial buildings recede into the background.
