Interior of the new quarters of the Denton Police Department which was in the City Hall Annex, just west of the City Hall (West) and facing Cedar Street. Detective Luther Allen is sitting in the middle, dispatcher Eddie Huey on the right, and unidentified police officer pictured in the background. We think this picture was taken in July or August 1959 because there are boxes on the floor and the walls are bare. In 1971, Huey would join the Navy and leave for a sixth-month tour of duty. Luther Allen, worked for the Denton Police Department from 1933-1941 and the Denton County Sheriff's Department from 1941-1946, before running unsuccessfully for sheriff in 1945. He would rejoin the Denton Police Department as a detective until his death in 1962.

Another copy of the Ordinances Charter rests on the desk in front of her. An analog telephone and typewriter are located on side tables beside her. She is believed to be Doris Harvey.
