History


The building was designed by architect Isaac Rapp and completed in 1917.[3] It is an example of Pueblo Revival Style architecture,[4] and one of Santa Fe's best-known representations of the synthesis of Native American and Spanish Colonial design styles. The façade was based on the mission churches of Acoma, San Felipe, Cochiti, Laguna, Santa Ana and Pecos.[5]
