"Pueblo Revival" architecture, a building code
mandate that some locals deride as "Fakeadobe,"
The earth tones add subtlety to a walk in the city and
become part of the enduring motif. The codes also
may have saved Santa Fe's original adobes,
including the oldest house in the country, one

oldest church in the country, its original walls still
visible beneath a 1710 reconstruction, and they built

Santa Fe's Perfect Climate
| "Santa Fe is home to more artists per capita than any other region in the country." so the guidebooks say. |
In the center of Santa Fe you can visit an 1873 Gothic church with a unique staircase, a work of art in wood.
Legend tells of a mysterious carpenter who arrived on a donkey with few tools and although without blueprint,
miraculously built a set of unsupported stairs to the choir loft in the shape of a double helix.
According to legend, the carpenter disappeared shortly after finishing the structure. He had built two turns of 360
degrees with no central support. The entirely peg construction of 33 steps baffled the nuns and they attributed
the work to St. Joseph himself.
