DescriptionA street view in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico looking at the Southwest corner of Second Street and Copper Avenue. Green's Super Service Station stands at 123 North Second Street. The back of First National Bank is in background located at 221-223 West Central Avenue. Green's gas station has four tall and narrow filling pumps with spherical tops. A man walks across the street at the bottom left corner of the frame and another man stands across the street at the corner looking for traffic before crossing. There is a billboard hanging from a brick building advertising for 7-Up.

Green's was destroyed in 1937 or 1938 to make way for the new Hilton Hotel.
