The architectural traditions of Santa Fe go back into time, and often the historic nature of Santa Fe’s buildings is emphasized by primitive looking archaic design. Many shops are housed in this structure, which deliberately displays distressed adobe, a crudely defined sign, and aged shuttered windows. I have no idea if what we see here is a historic structure reborn as a commercial enterprise, or if this is a clever piece of new commercial architecture designed to look historic. I photograph it at sunset, making it all the more romanticized. Whatever the answers, such questions can prod our imaginations.
