Pueblo Revival is an early-twentieth-century Southwestern style that imitates Ancestral Puebloan and Spanish Colonial buildings using modern materials. It became dominant in Santa Fe and Albuquerque between 1905 and 1940. It remains the regulated default style inside Santa Fe's Historic Districts under the 1957 zoning ordinance. Defining features include earth-toned stucco walls, flat roofs behind battered parapets, projecting timber vigas, and deeply recessed wood casements. Soft-rounded corners and canales draining the roof complete the form. Architect John Gaw Meem codified the style for new construction. The National Park Service classifies it as one of America's few consciously revived regional architectures.
