Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Depot, 500 Railroad Avenue, Las Vegas, San Miguel County, NM
Summary
Significance: The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Depot replaced the two-story wood building that initially served the railroad customers in Las Vegas, and its construction is a testament to the prosperity of the town and the booming business done by the railway itself at the end of the nineteenth century. The depot is one of the earliest examples of the use of the Mission Revival, or adaptation of the architecture of the southwest, by the Santa Fe railroad. In Las Vegas, the depot is representative of the buildings the railroad created in the "new town" section. The depot was the centerpiece of this neighborhood, which featured the Harvey House Hotel (La Castaneda today) among other commercial buildings and less reputable saloons.
