While the Hedgecock building has lost its bracketed metal cornice, its arched window hoods still reveal its original Italianate Style (compared to the Neo-Classicism of the Fire House). It has been home to Stern's Famous Dry Goods, Charles Hedgcock's boot and shoe factory, a saloon and "lunch". It was also, as the plate iron cells still at the rear of the building attest, once home to the police station and jail. The jail sequence in the movie "Easy Rider" was filmed in this historic building.

Sundt, "The Meadows Hotel" was christened in June, 1923. In 1946 it was purchased by Toufick Fidel of Albuquerque who removed much of the facade's elaborate Spanish Colonial Revival cast stone decoration and renamed it El Fidel.

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.

727 Grand Ave
Las Vegas, NM 87701
Build date: 1940
Housed in a Works Project Administration structure built to serve as city hall, the City Museum provides a "snapshot" of life in the 1880s. A remarkable collection of household items, costumes, arms, ranching gear, tools and furniture has been donated by a variety of community members over the years. In 1898, when Teddy Roosevelt put out a call for troops to help liberate Cuba, then-New Mexico Territorial Governor Miguel Otero offered to send a rifle brigade from New Mexico. The War Department formed the First Regiment of the United States Volunteer Cavalry made of cowboy volunteers from across the West. The largest contingent from one state or territory came from New Mexico, and Las Vegas hosted the group's first reunion in 1899. Many reunions later, the Rough Riders established a collection of mementos including historic photos, flags and original uniforms. Museum admission is free and hours are 9-noon and 1-4 p.m., Monday through Friday year-round and 10 a.m.-3p.m., Saturdays from May to October.

His son, Thomas Johnsen, who took over the mortuary at his father's death, saw the need for the current, separate building. His daughter, Evelyn Egan, continues to operate the business.

31: Crockett Block (Murphey's Drug Store)
Corner of Douglas & 6th
Las Vegas, NM 87701
Build date: 1898
Built on the site of the St. Nicholas Hotel, the Crockett Block signified a resurgence in the local economy after the economic panic of 1893. A Rapp and Rapp design, the building reflects the California Mission style introduced to Las Vegas only a year earlier in the design of the nearby Castaneda Hotel. Tile roofs on the corner pavilions and buff-colored Roman brick mark the new style. The design shows the Rapps' distinctive neo-classical approach in the Sixth Street entrance. Murphey's Drug Store retains its original interior with a suspended Neo-Classical mezzanine and pressed-metal ceiling.

33: John Dold Building
1805 Plaza St
Las Vegas, NM 87701
Building date: 1870
Style: Territorial
By combining classical proportions and detailing of Greek Revival architecture with massive adobe and stone masonry, the U.S. Army introduced Territorial architecture into New Mexico - perhaps the most significant innovation since the Spaniards introduced religious structures and adobe brick to the Pueblos over two centuries earlier. Santa Fe Trail traders Wesche and Dold bought the site from the Catholic Church and built their mercantile headquarters in the military style. Early on, the front sported a two-story portal with balcony above. The building had been altered dramatically when the present owners purchased it in 1995 and rehabilitated it.

The one-story red brick building was designed in a mixture of periods with crenelated parapets and linteled windows and boasted an early air cooling system. This facade, restored in the 1980s by local preservationists, Joe and Diana Stein, shows the restraint of early 20th-century classicism.

Originally, Charles Ilfeld located his modest dry goods firm in a one-story adobe (now demolished) north of the Plaza. However, by 1862, he had prospered to the point that he erected the first third of this Italianate building. He completed it in a larger, second stage, on the right, in 1890. The Ilfeld Company continued to grow, becoming the largest mercantile firm in the state between the world wars, with warehouses and stores in every major city in New Mexico.

226 Plaza St
Las Vegas, NM 87701
Build date: 1880
Style: Italianate / Bracketed
It was a matter of pride for every railroad town to have a fine hotel in which to house visitors. Local businessmen headed by Don Benigno Romero formed the Plaza Hotel Company in 1881 to provide Las Vegas with the finest hotel in the territory. The hotel has a coloful history: it was home to early silent film producer Romaine Fielding (see the ghost sign still on the west facade) in 1913, and the Mama Lucy Gang of liberal politicians in the 1960s. More than a centuary after it was built, Plaza Partnership, Ltd., acquired the property and meticulously rehabilitated the building, motivating reinvestment in Old Town and, once again, restoring the hotel as an object of civic pride.

The Salazar House resembles homes on the west side of the river more than those to the east. The symmetrical Hipped Box design appeared on both sides of town, but those of the west side are of adobe (like this house), while those to the east are usually wood frame or brick. More tellingly, the porch ogee arches are a local folk decoration otherwise seen only on westside houses. Vidal Salazar (listed as driver and wife), then Elisa Salazar, appear at this affress in the city directories from 1908 to 1919.
