The 10 Best Architectural Buildings in New Mexico, United States

November 22, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

With its rich cultural heritage from Native American and Spanish settlers, New Mexico has been both a Spanish colony and a Mexican colony, and still retains a strong individual identity within the United States. The landscape is breathtaking, the food incredible, and there is a thriving cultural scene, all of which makes New Mexico, and Santa Fe in particular, a great place all year long.

Reviewed By roadtripDukes

We've been watching this property for 15 years and are thrilled at its resurrection. Excellent food and beverages in the bar. Sean at the front desk *really* made our evening: showing us authentic artifacts, describing restoration, discussing history of town and railroad, and making us feel welcome and included in his town. Bravo, Sean; we'll be back!

The Oldest House

800-year old Adobe house; considered the oldest house in the United States.

Last time in SF I went inside. This time I was able to find a quick parking spot and show my wife. Small space with interesting artifacts! Is it the oldest house? Historic SantaFe suggests it is old and tradition calls is that but who cares! Clearly it is a very old structure and very nice to see! I would not want to miss it!

Two houses next to each other that seem to be totally out of place. As noted this is a drive by thing and take a few photos.
