DescriptionA view of Pueblo Plaza Court at 1620 North Fourth Street off of U.S. Highway 66 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A row of adobe style rooms stands with traditional wooden beams (vegas) sticking out from along the top portions of the outer facing wall of each house. Leaning against the building furthest to the left side of the photograph is a ladder functioning as a lattice for climbing vines. A similar, but much smaller, ladder is leaning against the next house to the right. A paved road connects the car ports of each building to the main road of the Motor Court. In front of the row of buildings stands a tall neon sign which reads "Pueblo Plaza Court 1620". Immediately underneath this sign stands five individuals standing on a grassy median area. This area is partially shaded by several large trees. Numerous small bushes are also present in this area. Three of the five individuals under the sign are each dressed in different style suits. The fourth individual is obscured because they are situated behind one of the other people and the fifth individual is a child who stands just to the left of one of the adults.
