Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Center for Regional Studies funded this project to visually document all existing structures on Route 66 in Albuquerque. From August 2013 to May 2014, Donatella Davanzo photographed each site corresponding to a street address along Central Avenue from Tramway on the east to 66 Casino on the west. The survey documented 731 buildings in 7266 images along 18 miles of the post 1936 east-west alignment. The following year, from August 2014 to May 2015, the second phase of the project followed the historic north-south pre-1937 corridor, entering Albuquerque on Fourth Street and continuing along Isleta Blvd. This path, also 18 miles long, documents 636 buildings in 4013 images.
