Title	Hotel de Paris, Georgetown, Colorado
Summary	West side of the Hotel de Paris, located on Sixth (6th, Alpine) Street, Georgetown, Colorado. The hotel was built by the Frenchman Louis Dupuy, the proprietor, from three separate buildings, and was completed in 1890. The west side of the building is stuccoed to look like masonry. Iron filigree runs along the roof level, and a sculpture of Justice, with her arm raised, and three metal chimneys are visible. There is a balcony with a wire balustrade at the second floor level, with a door with a triangular pediment that opens onto it from the building. The balcony serves as the roof of a porch at the ground level, with rod and sphere decoration between the thin columns. A screen door and a metal bench are on the porch. A large banner reading "Hotel de Paris" with crossed American and French flags, is painted onto the wall; the first floor door cuts into the mural, and the balcony cuts across the painted flags.
Date	[between 1940 and 1960?]
