Description
The Tewa Lodge is located along Historic Route 66, now Central Avenue, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, Tewa Lodge is notable as one of the city’s best-preserved motels from the Route 66 era. It is also one of the few that is still operating as a motel.
It was built in 1946 in the Pueblo Revival style with rounded parapets, battered and buttressed stuccoed walls to simulate adobe, faux projecting vigas (wooden roof beams), and a flat roof. While the neon sign isn’t original to the building, it is highly regarded along Route 66 and considered one of the best in Albuquerque.
