These are some of the photo's I recently found in some files. Some from family, some from Archives. They are photo's of Albuquerque from the late 19th early 20th century.
Most are from Downtown Albuquerque.
Please feel free to add some of your own photo's if you have any.

are only two blocks W of the Albuquerque High building.

From that collection, a few of my favorite old Albuquerque buildings:
And here's an aerial pic of the old Santa Fe Railroad Shops, including my neighborhood of Barelas at the top. I'm absolutely overjoyed in finding this particular pic!
Not from that collection, but here is a pic of the old Barelas Bridge over the Rio Grande that I wanted to share. In the Barelas Community Center today is a much better framed picture of the bridge that I desperately want a copy of for myself to frame and hang in my own home.
I will never understand why the Franciscan Hotel was torn down.
What a stupid mistake. And the Alvarado Hotel.... Albuquerque was not thinking then...
