DescriptionA building under construction in Albuquerque, New Mexico. An empty lot is to the left of the frame and a house is in back of the vacant lot. Construction workers plaster the building over the clay bricks. A ladder leads to the roof where two men work on a scaffold. Three wheelbarrows and construction materials are on the side of the building. Attached to a pillar in front is a sign that says, “K.L. House, General Construction”. A workman climbs a ladder in front to get to the awning over the front of the building. The number 3 is printed on the upper right of the photograph.
