hen most people picture the American Southwest, certain classic images come to mind: desert scenes filled with exotic plants and cactuses; sprawling pink sunsets; and the modest square, earth-toned adobe houses that have been the region’s architectural signature for centuries. Known as Pueblo-style homes, these structures date back to the original Native American inhabitants of the area and have remained a staple over the course of centuries, and through waves of new colonizers and occupants. The buildings had a second boom starting in the 1920s when newer Pueblo-style homes (often built with more modern materials) came into vogue, leading to the so-called Pueblo Revival. “Pueblo houses originally go back to Native American culture, people using the materials that were readily available to build structures,” says Keith Gorges, an agent with Sotheby’s International Realty in Santa Fe, N.M.
