 Turn right on Lead Ave., the first of three one-way streets that divide the south side of the neighborhood and discourage pedestrian traffic. Walk three blocks west to Broadway Blvd.

 Turn left on Broadway and go south one block to Coal Ave. The Broadway Market, on the northwest corner of Broadway and Coal, was once a combined store and house known as the Vance Market. Dating back to 1910, this two-story redbrick structure was the childhood home of Vivian Vance, the actress best remembered for her role as Ethel Mertz on the 1950s sitcom I Love Lucy.

 Turn left on Coal and walk east. The urban decay that the Huning Highland Historic District Association has long fought persists along the fringes. (The original south boundary is Hazeldine Ave., but the current historic zone extends slightly past Iron Ave.) At the northeast corner of Coal and Walter is a former Conoco gas station built in the style of an English cottage to fit into its residential surroundings. In 1997 it was dedicated as the H. B. and Lucille Horn Preservation Station and now serves as a meeting venue for The Albuquerque Conservation Association. A community garden with chicken coops is on the east side of the station.
