DescriptionA couple stands on a brick walkway outside the Alvarado in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There is an adobe archway and circular sign beside it depicting a Pueblo Eagle Dancer and reads, "Indian Building Fred Harvey," but is somewhat cut off. Beneath the sign is a large ceramic vase with a cactus inside. The woman wears a fur coat with thicker fur trim at the collar, wrist cuffs and bottom. She wears a black satin dress with a pearl necklace. She holds a box and clutch purse in her right hand. She looks down while adjusting her jacket. The man next to hear wears a fedora, knee length double-breasted coat, glasses, and there is a mask or bandage spanning around the man's chin and looped around his ears. There is a newspaper in his left pocket.On View
