The Taos County Historical Society announces its March 2, program “(R)evolution of Spanish Pueblo Architecture in New Mexico” with guest speaker Rachel Preston Prinz.
 
The illustrated lecture begins at 2 p.m., in the Kit Carson Electric Cooperative Boardroom, 118 Cruz Alta Road in Taos. The free program is open to the public and members of the Society.

Prinz will trace the beginnings of the style and its evolution in the early years (1912-1917), and how we see it today with new eyes. Today, in Santa Fe, there is an ongoing discussion of the Spanish Pueblo Revival architecture finally separating it from Pueblo Revival and Santa Fe style. She will talk about this process and its reasons, identify its reasons and identify their differences. Finally Rachel Preston Prinz will provide Taos examples on these distinct architectural styles.
