Exterior view of the Presbyterian Church in Georgetown, Colorado, built in 1863 and located on Taos Street between Eighth (8th) and Ninth (9th) Streets; shows the front of the church with the south fork of Clear Creek in the foreground. The facade includes a tower with pointed-arch windows, four large spires at the corners of the roof with four smaller ones between; the spires are shingled, and are connected by a solid wood railing. The church has a gabled roof, and on the front two other windows are visible; the church is made of local stone; windows are trimmed with brick. The stream is under the road in front of the church; a weathered fence is over the stream. Rocks form the banks of the stream, and a metal fence is on the right edge. Large trees surround the church, and Griffith Mountain is in the background.
