Description
"All the buildings are brown, but it's so beautiful" a first-time visitor to Santa Fe exclaimed. Although this response is typical for today's first-timers, early visitors seldom had such a favorable first impression. More often they found the little village of simple, mud structures and muddy streets to be a crude and unkempt backwater.
Attitudes began to change in the late nineteenth century when anthropologists, artists and a few tourists began exploring the Southwest. Rather, this new breed of visitors was fascinated by the cultures of the local Native American and Hispanic communities and their indigenous styles of architecture, crafts, and art.
By 1910, the Santa Fe city fathers realized that the centuries-old tradition of Pueblo and Spanish architecture was no longer a liability, but an asset that would help attract tourism. They made a concerted effort to encourage new construction based on local building traditions rather than the Victorian styles that had become prevalent after New Mexico became a U.S. territory. This reborn indigenous architecture and design became collectively known as Spanish/Pueblo Revival. Santa Fe Style was born.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the FAA watermark.
