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

Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
