DescriptionLooking north on Second Street from West Silver Avenue in New Town, Albuquerque, New Mexico. An electric street light hangs across the intersection of Second Street and Gold Avenue. At the righthand side of the street's store fronts is Arlington Lodging House, or Arlington Furnished Rooms, at 214 ½ South Second Street. The street is unpaved with puddles throughout. Horses pulling carts and buggies along with pedestrians fill the street and sidewalks in the distance. Electric poles line the sidewalks. 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.
Scratches in the emulsion is causing image loss.
