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.

Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing distortion and emulsion loss.
