DescriptionAlbuquerque Gas Works, Electric Light and Power Company located between 119 and 121 East Silver Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The image is dark, mostly in shadows. There is a single-story light-colored peeked roof structure with windows. A large metal structure with a metal railing at the top is in front of the building in a shadow. Both structures are behind a fence.

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