DescriptionA side view of the Commercial Club between 201 and 211 South Fourth Street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The church-like, four-story building is stone, has dormer windows on the fourth floor and has a large spire in the front. The building has a wood plank sidewalk leading to it, lined with young trees. A two-horse team pulls a wagon with four benches reading, "EXPLORER" on the side of the wagon. The benches are full of passengers wearing fedoras and slack suits, to highly decorated high-crown hats and princess line gowns. The peak in the center of the building says, "COMMERCIAL CLUB."Silver mirroring is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion in the image.
