Fort Union National Monument, north of Watrous, New Mexico. Not much is left of it now, but in the second half of the 1800s Fort Union was a big deal in the southwest US, not only for the safety of travelers on the Santa Fe trail, but also because a huge amount of supplies for the military and settlers was distributed from there. The 36 bed hospital was the only place in the region to get medical attention - free for soldiers and their families, but 50 cents per day for civilians.

The Taos Art Museum and home of Nicolai Fechin (Fechin House); exterior.
Per: http://www.taosartmuseum.org/about.html
"The museum is housed in the studio and home that artist Nicolai Fechin built for his family between 1927 and 1933. Fechin, born in Kazan, Russia in 1881, carved and molded the adobe buildings into a fascinating, harmonic marriage of Russian, Native American, and Spanish motifs. Fechin's heirs have entrusted many of his art works to the care of Taos Art Museum."
