Historic Beauty

Santa Fe

New Mexico's capital city, founded in 1610, boasts an extraordinary variety of houses. The earliest, built with adobe (sun-dried earth) bricks, survive from a time when it was the administrative center of Spain's province of Nuevo Mexico.


Santa Fe has Spanish-era adobe homes dating back to the 1720s. The basic "Santa Fe style" house, modeled after those of the early Pueblo Indians, has earth-colored walls outside and beautiful troweled-plaster walls inside that most pleasingly contrast with the rich wood of the viga ceilings. These are still being built, but now with an eye to sustainable materials and practices. Santa Fe also has contemporary homes that exhibit architectural brilliance, often with more glass, steel, and hard angles playing against the softer, traditional plastered walls and beamed ceilings. With this range, Santa Fe has a built environment that's all it's own.
