On Sunday, February 21, 2021, at 2 p.m., Richard Ruddy will present “An Iconic View: A Photographic Study of First and Central, 1880 to 2020” – a visual history of Albuquerque’s First and Central using rarely seen historical photos. There will be an emphasis on the view of Central Avenue looking west from the railroad tracks beginning in 1880 when the railroad first arrived. Mixed into the visual story are accounts of businesses and people who left their mark on Albuquerque. The program will take place by live stream on the AHS Facebook page.
