La Posada Historic District
La Posada Historic District, Historic railroad hotel district in Winslow, United States.
La Posada Historic District is a railroad hotel district in Winslow featuring Spanish Colonial Revival design with adobe walls and terra cotta roofs. The complex holds a restored hotel with guest rooms, dining facilities, and a museum within its grounds.
The district was founded in 1930 by the Fred Harvey Company and Santa Fe Railway as a key stop for travelers during the height of rail travel. This establishment shaped Winslow's growth as a railroad town.
The district displays artworks and furnishings that reflect Southwestern building traditions and regional craftsmanship. Walking through its spaces, you can see how local design choices shaped the interior character and period details.
The location sits on East 2nd Street and is easily walkable, with clear signage guiding you through the historic buildings. Plan several hours to explore the hotel, museum, and dining venues at a leisurely pace.
Architect Mary Colter designed the project with invented historical elements, including fabricated archaeological ruins to enhance its character. This deliberate fiction was part of her vision to create an authentic Southwestern feel.
