DescriptionThe picture depicts the Iceberg Service Station in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The main building is white and is made to look like two peaked icebergs. A horizontal line of tires is situated in front of the building. To the left of the building, two individuals, dressed in button-up shirts and khakis, stand behind a vehicle situated over a pit with mechanics in it working on the underside of the vehicle. The main entrance to the building is located to the right of the row of tires. The door has several signs above and around it. These signs say " Iceberg Service Station. Frank R. Fortenbrew" and "Curios. Candy. and Cigarettes". A small bicycle tire refilling station can be seen immediately outside of the front door. To the right of the building, three gas pumps with a car at each one can be seen. Behind the building, on the right, a shed-like structure advertises car was and car lubrication. A sign advertising "Indian Curios" is situated on the roof of the shed.On View
