The depot is a one-story structure with a gable roof, and the Methodist Church is under construction in the foreground. Also known as the "Pillar of Fire Church," This is where Bishop Alma White had her "Great Experience" in 1893.

Foothills are in the background.Physical Description1 copy photonegative ; 10 x 13 cm (4 x 5 in.); 1 photoprint ; 10 x 17 cm (4 x 6 1/2 in.) on sheet 13 x 18 cm (13 x 18 in.)SubjectMorrison (Colo.)--19th centuryStreets--Colorado--Morrison--19th centuryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710011136Type of MaterialFilm negativesPhotographic printsDigital Version Created FromLittleton Historical Society.NotesFormerly F24881.
