Exterior view of McClellan Hall, on the south side of Sixth (6th) Street between Taos and Rose Streets, Georgetown, Colorado. The building was a movie theater which was restored as a public gathering place in 1946 and named after an earlier building which burned in 1892. The image includes a storefront with a bracketed cornice across the top, windows with "McClellan Hall" painted on them, signs which read "Thursday" and "Next Week" above eight movie promotional cards, and a poster for "The Yellow Rose of Texas" with images of Dale Evans and Roy Rogers. A boy sits mounted on a horse and smiles at a group of three posing teen-agers: a girl in a white blouse and rolled-up dungarees, a boy in a plaid shirt, and a girl in a suit and saddle shoes. A younger boy with a cap looks out from inside the door.
