University of New Mexico Press, 1983. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Dust jacket has minor wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. John Gaw Meem is unquestionably the most important architect ever to have worked in New Mexico. In the sixty-year span of his career he designed or redesigned public buildings and private dwellings, banks, schools, libraries, ranch houses, hospitals, museums, numerous churches, the Santa Fe Plaza, and the University of New Mexico. When we think of a "typical" New Mexico building style, we are really thinking of Meem's characteristic modifications of Pueblo and Spanish Colonial architecture. Paul Horgan describes Meem in his foreword as having given "a comprehensive image to civilized life in the Rocky Mountain Southwest."
