SHOT 1/1/11 4:24:44 PM - The Tewa Lodge consists of a one-story building and a two-story building with a manager's residence located above the office portion of the east building. The motel is an example of the popular Pueblo Revival style with rounded parapets, irregular massing, battered walls, and projecting vigas (wooden roof beams). The units, some with garages, are organized in a parallel linear plan facing a small courtyard. Although the neon sign isn't original to the building, it is highly regarded along Route 66. The motel's use of neon has been judged as among the best in Albuquerque. A giant arrow points to the motel's entrance with flashing gold lights. The Tewa Motor Lodge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Albuquerque is the largest city in the state of New Mexico. It is the county seat of Bernalillo County and is situated in the central part of the state, straddling the Rio Grande. in 2009 the city's population was 528,497 according to U.S. census estimates which ranks it as the 34th-largest city in the U.S. As of June 2007, the city was the sixth fastest-growing in America. The Sandia Mountains run along the eastern side of Albuquerque, and the Rio Grande flows through the city, north to south..(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2010)
