During our trip to California in October, I took this photo of a building that must be the epitome of a Spanish-style structure in New Mexico. I must say we only saw it for a fleeting moment; the train stopped, I snapped the photo, and once again we were rolling down the rails.
Quite the structure, isn’t it? Do you feel the way I feel when I look at this photo? Definitely in need of upgrading and repairs, I think it looks like something out of a Western movie. The Spanish style cutouts make me feel as if I’ve been transported back in time to an era where the “Wild West” was alive and well.
I don’t know what this structure is, but it was a rather interesting building to create a time-stir!!

Is this on the railway? It his looks familiar to me. I think we had a ‘smoking stop’ there for the train staff.

I love buildings like this. Whenever I see them, I find myself trying to imagine what they might have looked like when first built, in the context of what the surrounding area would have been like at the time.
