DescriptionEmployees unload sacks from a horse drawn cart in front of Mausard's Mills located at East Fruit Avenue and the railroad tracks in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The towering three-story brick building reads, "MAUSARD'S MILLS." at the top. A large wooden raised platform spans the front of the building where the flatbed cart is parked. Train tracks line the bottom of the frame in front of the building. A train car is parked to the side of the warehouse, off the tracks, and reads, "Atchison Topeka Santa Fe 19273." The employees wear fedoras and flat caps, trousers, jackets, suspenders, and have styled mustaches. A large metal smoke stack extends into the sky from the mill with dark smoke billowing out. Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss in the image.
