DescriptionSan Felipe de Neri Church, rectory, and Sister Blandina Convent (also housing Our Lady of the Angels School) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The series of buildings are side-by side and there is a line of leafless tress in front of them. The convent is a two-story brown stucco building attached to the church. A row of striped wooden barriers line the dirt road near the left of the frame along the side of the convent. The complex is located on the corner of two dirt roads.

Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
