DescriptionThis image depicts a saloon on Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Two doors on the front face of the building are both open. A large sign above the main entrances reads "Club Rooms. Keno Every Night. Boos Saloon. Kentucky Whiskey. Beer 5 Cts". A man near the left side door sits on a small box on the ground. A man near the right entrance stands in front of the open doorway. The street in front of the saloon is made of dirt and looks commonly traveled. Another building to the left of the saloon has a large stripped awning over its entrance. The wording on the awning and on the sign above it reads "Restaurant".
