DescriptionA street view from Central Avenue where the railroad passes over at east Central and First Street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. On the right is New Mexico Paper Company at 119 South John Street and First National Bank Building. On the left is Singer-Spitz Company at 118 East Central Avenue and the Alvarado Hotel barely visible above the overpass.

Central Avenue is lined with storefronts, spanning into downtown.
