ThePueblo Revival style orSanta Fe style is a regionalarchitectural style of theSouthwestern United States, which draws its inspiration fromSanta Fe de Nuevo México's traditionalPueblo architecture, theSpanish missions, andTerritorial Style. The style developed at the beginning of the 20th century and reached its greatest popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, though it is still commonly used for new buildings. Pueblotraditional architecture is most prevalent in the state ofNew Mexico; it is often blended withTerritorial Revival architecture.

Pueblo Revival architecture imitates the appearance of traditionaladobePueblo architecture, though other materials such as brick or concrete are often substituted. If adobe is not used, rounded corners, irregularparapets, and thick,battered walls are used to simulate it. Walls are usuallystuccoed and painted in earth tones. Multistory buildings usually employ stepped massing similar to that seen atTaos Pueblo. Roofs are always flat. Common features of the Pueblo Revival style include projecting wooden roofbeams orvigas, which sometimes serve no structural purpose^[1], "corbels", curved—often stylized—beam supports andlatillas, which are peeled branches or strips of wood laid across the tops of vigas to create a foundation (usually supporting dirt or clay) for a roof.^[1][2]

The regional architecture from which the Pueblo style draws its inspiration is primarily found in New Mexico andArizona, but alsoColorado. Although the revival movement is most closely associated with the state of New Mexico, many early examples were built in otherwestern states. In the 1890s, architectA. C. Schweinfurth incorporated Pueblo features into a number of his buildings in California.^[2][3] Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter'sHopi House (1904) inGrand Canyon National Park drew heavily on the Pueblo style. In 1908, architectIsaac Rapp used theSan Estevan Del Rey Mission Church as a template for his Colorado Supply Company warehouse inMorley, Colorado.^[4]

The Pueblo Revival style made its first appearance in New Mexico at theUniversity of New Mexico inAlbuquerque, where UNM presidentWilliam G. Tight adopted the style for a number of building projects during his tenure. The best known of these was the 1908 remodeling ofHodgin Hall, which survives as well as the slightly earlierEstufa, both designed by architect Edward Buxton Cristy under Tight's supervision. Other pioneering buildings that no longer exist were a heating plant and two of the university's dormitories, Hokona Hall and Kwataka Hall, also designed by Cristy and built in 1906.^[5] Nearly all subsequent university buildings have also employed the Pueblo style, albeit in increasingly loose interpretations.^[3]

The other stronghold of Pueblo-style architecture isSanta Fe, where it was popularized in the 1920s and 1930s by a group of artists and architects seeking to establish a unique regional identity. In 1957, a committee led byJohn Gaw Meem drafted Santa Fe "H" Historical District Regulations Ordinance No. 1957-18,^[6] commonly known as the Historical Zoning Ordinance. This ordinance mandated the use of the "Old Santa Fe Style," which encompassed "so-called Pueblo, Pueblo-Spanish or Spanish-Indian andTerritorial styles," on all new buildings in central Santa Fe.^[7] This ordinance remains in effect, meaning the Pueblo style continues to predominate.^[4]

Pueblo-style houses are still frequently constructed in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and elsewhere. Updated versions of the style have also been used for newer commercial and public buildings such as theAlbuquerque International Sunport terminal (1966) and the newer UNM buildings.
