DescriptionCavalier Motel at 5014 Fourth Street Northwest in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The single-story green motel is built in two rows around a central parking area. A two-story white office building is built in the back center of the lot. Two red signs in brick planters are near the street. Each sign is identical, and reads "Cavalier Motel" and lists a heated pool as its amenity. There is a cavalier figure, dressed in red, on the top of each sign. In the upper left corner of the postcard is a photograph of a boy leaning off of a diving board and a rectangular swimming pool below him. The image is labeled "Heated Pool".
