John Gaw Meem was a noted architect for his Pueblo architecture of Northern New Mexico. His vision of design-build included architectural elements that, to this day, permeate almost every building in Santa Fe. It was his work that brought focus to the historic preservation of buildings in Santa Fe. Casa Tatum, a short-term rental listed by Aqui Santa Fe, is a home he designed in 1939.
There are many sights worthy of your exploration, but there are a few that stand out.
Historic Downtown Santa Fe Plaza. The architectural design of many buildings, including the Lensic Performing Arts Center, is fascinating for its Moorish and southwestern influences. The New Mexico History Museum offers a historical perspective that can lay the groundwork for your understanding of our City Different, the Native American Artists Portal Program, and Native American crafts.
Canyon Road. For years, this was the main road into town from Glorieta Pass. In the 1950s, it became home to many locals and later to art studios and contemporary art.
The Railyard Arts District. Tour the critical mass of Santa Fe’s contemporary art galleries, casual restaurants, Violet Crown Cinema, REI Santa Fe for a last-minute wrap, and the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market.
