Stone walls at the State Penitentiary in Canon City, Colorado, have barred sash windows and a gate with iron fasteners. A frame guard shack with a stovepipe tops the wall; a man looks from the window. A faceted stone tower with sash windows and a cornice is behind, at the corner. Rough cut stone is piled at the base of the wall, and a beam with a turnbuckle and cable is in the foreground. Power lines cross the scene, and rock escarpments are in the background.
