DescriptionA new parking lot and gas station is located at 410-416 West Gold Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is an aerial view of a small stucco building with two gasoline pumps in front – Sky Chief and Texaco. There is a car parked right next to each side of the building. A man is filling a car at one of the pumps and another man is kneeled on the ground near the other pump. A sign over the front door says, “Parking”. On the roof of the building is a deco design element. The building is surrounded by a large dirt lot with a few cars parked on it. In the rear, across an alley, is another parking lot with many cars and a truck which has signs saying, “Kraft/Miracle Whip/Salad Dressing”. In the foreground and in the right in the frame, there is a street light and edge of a parked car. The photo is trimmed to an oval shape.On View
