The interior of the Porter Store in Mount Sneffels, Ouray County, Colorado, is full of cans and crates reading: "F. W. Crocker & Co. Crackers Denver Co." Spindle chairs are at the desk, which has pigeon hole files and sheaves of paper. A mantle clock tops shelves; posters and framed pictures of women cover the wall. One advertisement depicts Black people and reads: "Lester & Aileen's Big Minstrels." A stovepipe and a barrel are to the side, and an oil chandelier hangs overhead.
