Designed by the Rapp Brothers, architects whose works can be seen along the rail line from Chicago to New Mexico, this building one of New Mexico's leading mercantile companies. Styled in the Renaissance Revival mode, its remarkable second story loggia (row of classical Ionic columns) is an elegant feature. A cast-in-place concrete warehouse was added about 20 years after the original construction. Acquired by the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) in 1982 to house its district headquarters, the building enjoyed extensive repairs to the exterior masonry and interior oak woodwork. The restoration has won numerous awards, including a New Mexico Governor's Award.
