Title	Star Hook and Ladder Co., No. 1, Georgetown, Colo.
Creator(s)	McKinney, Albert S.
Summary	View of Georgetown, Colorado, showing the Star Hook and Ladder Co., No. 1, outside the fire house on Sixth (6th, Alpine) Street. The firemen appear to be preparing to take part in a parade; a cart is decorated with American flags. A uniformed man on horseback stands in front of the group. Nineteen firemen in uniforms with conductor-style hats, shirts with a star insignia, neck scarves, dark belts with metal buckles, trim pants, and white gloves gather around the cart holding ladders, with several men in position to pull the cart. Two boys in uniform sit on the horizontal ladders on the cart and wave American flags. Men and boys line the street observing; a woman directly directly behind the cart, in a doorway, looks on. Beyond the fire house, a sign on a wood building reads, "[?] O'Keefe & Co.;" beneath a sign reading "C.C. Churchill, Fruit and Groceries, Tobacco" is a group of women; one holds a child. A sign in the shape of a boot is nearby, and a carriage is in the street.
