DescriptionGold Avenue looking west from First Street in New Town, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Wells Fargo Bank (short building) stands at the center of the block on the left with the Whiting Building (cone shaped roof) in the distance. The right side of the street is lined with a sidewalk, an adobe wall with windows, and brick store fronts in the distance. Electric poles and wires trace both sides of the street. The road is dirt, with muddy puddles and tracks. New Town was one of the first Anglo settlements on Tiwa land in what is now Albuquerque, established about two miles east of Albuquerque's first Hispanic city center (contemporary Old Town). New Town spanned the railyards district and a few blocks west in Albuquerque's downtown.
Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing distortion and emulsion loss.
