Description

Santa Fe: A Historical Walking Tour is a walking guide of the oldest capital city in the United States, a history of many of its key historic sites and buildings, and an examination of the invention of the Santa Fe Style. This book depicts the changes in the urban landscape of Santa Fe through a series of memorable historic and contemporary photographs. Walking along the tour route, the reader will trace these shifts, as well as explore the rich tradition and history of Santa Fe.As a historically diverse town, Santa Fe's architectural styles reflect the rich cultures of its inhabitants. Santa Fe: A Historical Walking Tour illustrates this fascinating history by examining the changes in the architectural canvas of Santa Fe. During the last half of the 19th century, city leaders and businessmen first discarded the Pueblo and Spanish styles, and then returned to these roots in the early 1900s as part of a conscious effort to develop a tourist economy.
