DescriptionStreet scene in Kelly, New Mexico. The Old Kelly Store has corrugated metal walls and a metal, pitched roof. A covered porch leads to the entrance. Wooden signs attached to the metal walls and the support posts on the porch read, "Old Kelly Store / Artcher's Ghost Town Gallery Headquarters" "Visit Mogollon" "Free Display" "Artcher's Ghost Town Art Gallery & Museum Oils-Pastels Watercolors" "Open". Beside the store is a two-story adobe building with a sign that reads, "Hazel's Adobe Gallery". A gravel road is in front of the stores. In the foreground a red sign is on a wooden bridge over a ditch. The sign has white printing that reads, "Parking Area" and "Snack Bar Cafe Coffee Pie". Trees with green leaves and red flowers are growing in the ditch bank beside the gravel road. A mountain rises behind the store and gallery.
