DescriptionThis image depicts the exterior of the KiMo Theater on the corner of Fifth Street and Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The KiMo Theater is three stories tall and is lined with windows on each side. The building has Native American motifs outside and above each window. A marquee can be seen shading the front entrance. The wording on the marquee reads "Louis Conn Fight" and "John Howard. Tight Shoes. Plus, Louis Conn Fight and Universal News". Along the curb in front of the building, near the right side of the frame, is a single parked car. Two other cars can be seen parked along the KiMo's curb on the left side of the frame. A large sign that reads "KIMO" hangs off the building directly above the marquee. To the left of the marquee is another sign which reads "KGGM CBS". Another building can be seen on the left side of the frame. Two signs can be seen on this building. One side reads "Toiletries. Sundries" and the other reads "Redwing Hotel".
