This is the interior of Woodruff’s general store in the town of Gillett, Colorado (no longer a town there, near Cripple Creek). The photo shows brooms standing in a wooden box, canned food on the shelves, and boxes of cigars in a glass display case. The white bags stacked in the back of the store may contain flour.
