DescriptionA couple stands outside the Alvarado station in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A multi-storied adobe building with a barrel roof stands behind them as they stand on a brick walkway. People also walk back and forth behind them. A man wears a light-colored suit composed of a Homburg hat, single-breasted suit jacket, and bow-tie. He looks at the camera. His left hand holds the woman's right arm. The woman wears a dark skirt and blouse set with a dropped waist. It has polka dots, pleats on the skirt, and a matching fabric pendent dangling from the bottom the blouse's V-neck. She has a bob and bangs, wears lipstick, and smiles, looking to the side.
