LA FONDA HOTEL
G.5 AT THE END OF THE SANTA FE TRAIL
SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO
"La Fonda" (Spanish for "The Inn") was the name
applied to the ancient adobe hostelry which stood at this
corner, and where arrivals in early days found welcome
after the journey over the Indian and bandit infested Santa
Fe Trail
With the coming of the railroad, "The Inn" declined in
z patronage, became used for other purposes, and much of it
burned. The beginning of the present edifice was built by
public subscription of the citizens of Santa Fe. Later it was
taken over and greatly enlarged by the Fred Harvey Com-
pany.
Its exterior is a perpetuation in steel and concrete of the
ancient Santa Fe architecture, while the interior, decorated
along Indian and Spanish lines, is a thoroughly modern and
comfortable hotel.
