Descripción del sitio

514 Douglas Ave
Las Vegas, NM 87701

Build date: 1894-95
Style: Richardsonian Romanesque
Architect: Rapp & Rapp



According to University of New Mexico architectural historian Chris Wilson, the Masonic Temple is the finest surviving example of the Richardsonian Romanesque style in New Mexico (see also Old City Hall). Designed by Rapp and Rapp, and cosmopolitan in its design and craftsmanship, the stonework is the unusual, locally-quarried purple sandstone. The carved details flanking the main tower entrance are derivative of the great Chicago architect Louis Sullivan. The second floor once housed the Montezuma Club, a group of wealthy bachelors.
