Business signs from right to left read "Olde Tyme Portaits, Antiques and Finery" "Baby Doe Fashions" "Sayer McKee Gift Shop" and "Sayer McKee, Bed & Bath Boutique". Pictures, clothing, and t-shirts are displayed in windows. "Open" and "Ski Cooper" signs hang on the door of the first store. The next door is the one story brick drugstore with large letters: "Sayer E. McKee Drugs" and a "Radio Shack" sign suspended from the flat roof. The roof has a brick chimney, two metal vents and one metal chimney. The first floor has a series of large storefront windows and a transom with "RX" above the entry. Part of a two-story wood frame building with decorative cornice and "Stickley" sign is on the far left. Cars are in the intersection, and two pickup trucks are parked. The street has a stop sign, painted crosswalk, no u-turn sign, and lantern streetlight. Two men in baseball caps stand on the sidewalk in front of the stores.; This view northeast across the intersection of Harrison Avenue and Sixth Street towards the Masonic Temple and Sayer E. Mckee Drugs store in Leadville, Colorado, shows a two-story brick corner building with "Masonic Temple, 1910" carved into a stone inset. The features of the building include a decorative bracketed cornice topped with a brick and stone balustrade, finial balls, and center pediment with Mason symbol of compasses and the letter 'G'. The first floor has been remolded with large glass storefronts and with what is possibly the original double door entry remaining. The second story has pairs of sash windows with a brick frame and series of pilasters. A sign with Masonic symbols hangs from the building on wrought iron framework.
