DescriptionA street scene of the southeast corner of Railroad Avenue and First Street looking north and west in New Town, Albuquerque, New Mexico. On the street corner stands the Metropolitan Hotel and Saloon at 103 West Railroad Avenue in a two-story brick building. Adjacent is Everitt's The Diamond Place at 105 West Railroad Avenue (formerly from 107 West Railroad Avenue), and the Rico Hotel and Bar to the northwest at 111 North First Street with a sign reading "Rico Café." On the dirt road is a horse-drawn trolly streetcar or horsecar. Electric poles and barrels line the paved sidewalk with men standing on the sidewalk’s edge. Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
