El Cerrito, San Miguel County, New Mexico. Rooms in all these houses differ considerably as to furniture, arrangement and shape, but almost all of them are surprisingly clean and well kept. The influence of the church on the lives of these people is very strongly reflected in the decorating to be seen on the walls of their homes. Notice that nearly every one of these pictures shows some sort of religious symbol. Details of interiors.... The bedroom...[is] typical, with [its] iron bedsteads and heavy clother trunks. Crowding is not a problem in El Cerrito where a number of houses stand vacant and certain members of almost every family are away trying to earn a little money as day laborers.
