    DescriptionA crowd gathers on First Street for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Y.M.C.A. in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Two men walk up a wooden ramp onto a platform where people are seated and standing. Other people stand on the ground and on a wooden sidewalk on the site. A small wooden building with "Y.M.C.A." printed on the roof is next to the site. Businesses across First Street are the Metropolitan Hotel, the Union Bar and Restaurant, Siegfried Hahn, and Home Bakery.
