During the 1920s, there was a growing interest
in the Santa Fe and Taos areas of New Mexico, encouraged
by the bourgening arts scene there. Today one can
find lingering manifestations of the influenes brought
back by Denver's arts crowd.
Pueblo architecture sits in harmony with the environment
as it seems to rise up out of the earth. Indeed, it
was the only readily available material to the natives
of American Southwestern deserts. In Denver, the Peublo
Revival houses are constructed out of more substantial
materials, but they retain the peaceful harmony of
the original forms.
