Descripción del sitio
210 Plaza St
Las Vegas, NM 87701
Build date: c.1846
Style: Spanish Colonial (remodeled)
This one-story adobe, although "modernized" on the exterior, is the sole building on the Plaza that pre-dates the Mexican American War of 1846. In that year, General Stephen Watts Kearney, Commander of the American Army of the West, stood on a one-story building on the north side of the Plaza (probably this one) to address the town's male population, claiming New Mexico for the United States.
