Looking west from High Street down Lincoln Avenue in Breckenridge, Colorado, circa 1890-1899. The two-story frame schoolhouse on Harris Street stands prominently in view. Built in 1882, the school featured a bell tower centered on the multi-gabled roof. The large white frame building in the left background is St. Mary's Catholic Church on French Street, before it had a bell tower (installed in 1899). Far right, on the north end of French Street is Father Dyer United Methodist Church, at its original location before the courthouse was built on the same lot in 1908.
