Historical Information
On March 3, 1903 the City of Santa Fe granted land to the Woman’s Board of Trade and Library Association for construction of a public library at 120 Washington Ave. The brick and brownstone Spanish mission style building was completed in 1908 and was equipped with electricity and steam heat. It was remodeled in 1932-33, with the help of architect John Gaw Meem, and again in 1963. In 1987, the Santa Fe Public Library relocated, and shortly thereafter plans began to move the New Mexico History Museum's Library into the space. From 1995-1996, the building was once again remodeled. As part of this renovation, the façade was restored to John Meem’s design of ca. 1932-33. The museum's Fray Angélico Chávez History Library and Palace of the Governor Photo Archives moved to the new site, and opened on November 7, 1996.
