View of the Star Hook and Ladder fire house on Sixth (6th, Alpine) Street in Georgetown, Colorado, including a bell tower, the company's crest on the facade, and a balcony. Adults and children cluster at one end of the balcony; a little boy leans his elbows on the railing on the other side. Bunting on the balcony railing blows in the wind, and bunting hangs from the bottom of the balcony, over the ground level. At ground level the central equipment door is open and a man in a white jacket and hat stands in front. The false front on the building to the left reads, "Bolton and Bowen, Contractors and Builders." Three men in bowler hats look towards the building; other people are on the street.
