"Breaking Bad": The White, Many-Windowed Building

I've always been curious about The White, Many-Windowed Building in "Breaking Bad". I suspect it might be a defunct juvenile-detention facility.

Lately, the "Albuquerque Memories" Facebook group has taken an interest in the building, and may their antiquarian impulses can help settle the question about the building's original purpose. Their members pointed me to "Born Innocent", a 1974 film starring Linda Blair (not long after "The Exorcist"), which features the building (as Linda Blair's 'Kris' runs away from Albuquerque's current juvenile-detention facility).



The full film has several scenes of Albuquerque interest. The runaway scene featuring the white building is at 34:40, there is a nice drive on what might be Broadway Blvd. at 45:40, with suburban scenes too, and the cemetery scenes at 1:22:00 are at Algodones Cemetery.
