Interesting Albuquerque Buildings


Bingo Parlor, on Juan Tabo Blvd., just north of Central Avenue.

On Second St. SW at Camino Cuatro sits one of the most interesting houses I think I've ever seen in Albuquerque. Someone with time, money, and inclination built this ... this ... monument....

Lots of Ocotillo in use here. Lots of Ocotillo!

Whatever madness was afoot here seems to have been arrested. There is a chain link fence around the place.

Strange cinder block turrets.

UNM Architecture Building, at sunset.

UNM research building, on the North Campus just off of University Blvd.

The famed Aztec Motel on Central is now history....

Holiday Park Nazarene Church, on Montgomery Blvd.

Two-level cantilevered house, from this aspect, looks almost like a large predatory praying mantis. This is known in architectural circles as the "Cigar House".

Brick-red Encino Terrace looks even redder in the light of the setting sun.

Downtown parking garage.

Despite being right next to "Q" Studios, this new and unopened UNM Mesa del Sol facility has never been used in "Breaking Bad".


Plus two "Breaking Bad" buildings that were used, of course!

Driveway outside Oncology clinic, (Season 1, Episode 4, "Cancer Man"). Presbyterian Primary Care Clinic, 4005 High Resort Blvd., Rio Rancho, NM, (35.250746ø, -106.656049ø)

Interesting pillars and building! The four-wing saltbush adjacent to the building seemed unusually-healthy (probably due to focused drainage. I even saw a jackrabbit here!


Nighttime freeway view (2), Odelia Rd. NE and I-25 (Season 1, episode 6, "Crazy Handful of Nothin'").

Time lapse (part 4).

This view is on the south side of the overpass, looking east (Breaking Bad featured a similar view, but on the north side of the overpass, looking east.

That is St. Paul's Lutheran Church in the distance.
