Description
A large yellow arrow points the way to the Luna Lodge along the Historic Route 66, now known as Central Avenue, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
When it was built in 1949, the Luna Lodge was the easternmost hotel along Route 66 in Albuquerque. The classic Pueblo-Spanish Revival style reflects a very modest use of Southwestern Vernacular details. Initially 28 units, the broken U-Shaped plan surrounded a long interior courtyard. The two-story unit the arrow points to was the office and owner's residence. In 2006, Luna Lodge was converted into 30 low-income apartments for individuals with disabilities.
It was placed on the National Rester of Historic Places in 1998 because it has one of the best examples of a mostly original tourist court along all of the New Mexico section of Route 66.
