DescriptionHouses face a dirt road in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Along the street are three homes, a two-storied brick home, a single-storied adobe home, and a two-storied home with a mansard roof with a flat top. Three windows are set into the roof. There are two chimney stacks. Three horses and carts line the sidewalk in front of the homes. Thin trees with small leaves are in between the carts and homes.
