Pueblo Deco is anarchitectural style in theSouthwestern United States popular in the early 20th century. Pueblo Deco fused elements ofArt Deco with the region'sPueblo andTerritorial architectures, themselves inspired byPueblo andTerritorial Styles.[1] Early Pueblo Deco design was influenced by architectMary Colter's work, which incorporated Native American elements. The term was popularized by author Carla Breeze, whose 1984Pueblo Deco: The Art Deco Architecture of the Southwest (written with Marcus Whiffen), and 1990Pueblo Deco books described the fusion of southwestern motifs with the popular Deco style. Notable examples of buildings incorporating Pueblo Deco elements include theKiMo Theater inAlbuquerque, New Mexico and theArizona Biltmore Hotel inPhoenix, Arizona.[2]
Pueblo Revival style is associated with Art Deco's borrowing of non-Western stylistic elements, principally from Egyptian, Asian and in this case indigenous sources. The style emphasizes applied ornament, often in metalwork, together with extensive tilework and wall murals. Additional structures incorporating Pueblo Deco design include theEl Navajo Hotel and theMcKinley County Courthouse, both in Gallup, New Mexico.[3]
