DescriptionThe N.T. Armijo Building at 200 West Railroad Avenue in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. The building is a large block shape composed of stone bricks on the corner of two dirt streets. There is a paved sidewalk surrounding it. The building has three floors with the second floor having arching windows and the street floor has large storefront windows. The top of the building has rectangular spires. Outside the building on the sidewalk are passersbyers. Two people in slack suits stand outside the store wearing a bowler and straw boater hat. On the other side of the corner walks a person in a bowler hat, slack suit, and carries a walking cane. A bicycle is leaned against the store windows behind him. Across the street is a fenced in area housing bricks. In two windows on the corner of the second floor it reads, "New York Life Insurance Co..."Railroad Avenue's name was changed around 1908 to what is now Central Avenue. Central Avenue also overlaps with the historic Route 66.
Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing distortion and emulsion loss in the image.
