View of the north side of the Eureka Street buildings taken from behind a white, wood fence in Central City, Colorado. Washington Hall (one of the few buildings to survive the fire of 1874) is in foreground. The Cast Houses, which have trees growing in front of them, were used by members of the Opera House cast during the play seasons. St. James' Methodist Church is to their left. Dedicated in 1872, the granite building cost $3,000.00 to build. The Gilpin County Courthouse is in the background next to the church.
