Hope's European Hotel is visible on the left-hand side of the street corner, along with the Armijo House, Metropolitan Building, and the Grant Opera House in other storefronts. Albuquerque Street Railroad tracks are visible in the foreground, as well as telephone poles. The road is dirt. Men and boys stand on the sidewalks and walk in the streets along with horse-drawn carts. Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing distortion and emulsion loss. The glass plate is broken in two pieces.
