DescriptionSan Felipe de Neri Church in Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico. Photo taken from inside the stone wall that surrounds the Old Town plaza. The stone-and-mortar wall incorporates a wall-long bench on the inside. Young trees are planted adjacent to the wall in several locations. There is a decorative entrance into the plaza that faces San Felipe. The front entrance of the church has double doors, one of which is ajar. The narthex lacks lamps on either side of the door and has no side buttresses. There is no decorative entryway at the street. The building to the right of the church is made of brick, and appears to have a metal roof. Judging from the directions of the cars on the street, the street in front of the church was a two-way street. A single-bulbed street light hangs from a telephone pole.
