Additional Details:
The Santa Fe Railroad has built a new hotel "El Ortiz," at Lamy, New Mexico, with an enclosed garden. Such an enclosure is called in Spanish the "placita." The placita of El Ortiz is very quaint and beautiful. The old wooden columns and beams used throughout the construction of the hotel are particularly attractive in this part; and the numerous easy chairs, the old fashioned adobe walls, together with the quiet atmosphere, make this garden a most quaint and picturesque place. Lamy is a tiny village in the Glorietta Mountains midway between Albuquerque and Las Vegas
