This is the historical epicenter of Santa Fe, with prosperous farms and a vibrant neighborhood east of the city plaza, sustained
by the Santa Fe River and the many acequias that tapped the water along
Upper Canyon Road and Acequia Madre (mother ditch). Many
homes are generations old. Homes built after 1900 were by
world-renowned architects who borrowed from and refined the concepts of this original
construction (earthen construction, hand craftsmanship, flat roofs, curved
walls, vigas, kiva fireplace, brick floors, courtyards and portals) and
created what is known today as pueblo revival and territorial style
architecture.
