DescriptionThis image depicts the outside of the USO (United Service Organizations) Club building in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The building itself is a three-story building with numerous wooden beams (vigas) sticking out of the building on all floors. A total twenty-three windows can be seen in various places all over the outside of the building. Two large trees partially cover and shade a portion of the building on the left side of the frame. Only two doors are visible in this image both with signs directly above them. One sign says "Exit" and the other says "For Men in Service". A shin-high wall can be seen running along the side of the building nearest the road passing by the structure. Additionally, a sign hanging from a pole can be seen next to the road. The sign reads "USO" and is shaped like a shield". To the left of the building, a shaded grassy area with several lawn chairs can be seen.
