Built by Spanish Franciscan missionaries in the seventeenth
century, the magnificent mission church at Acoma Pueblo in
west-central New Mexico is the oldest and largest intact adobe
structure in North America. But in the 1920s, in danger of becoming
a ruin, the building was restored in a cooperative effort among
Acoma Pueblo, which owned the structure, and other interested
parties. Kate Wingert-Playdon's narrative of the restoration and
the process behind it is the only detailed account of this
milestone example of historic preservation, in which New Mexico's
most famous architect, John Gaw Meem, played a major role.
