Maisel's Indian Trading Post, Historic trading post in Albuquerque, United States.

The Pueblo Deco building features a T-shaped entrance with large display windows made of black Carrara glass and extensive native ceremonial murals on its facade.

Maurice Maisel commissioned architect John Gaw Meem to design this structure in 1939, responding to increased tourism along the newly realigned Route 66 through Albuquerque.

Nine Native American artists from the Santa Fe Indian School created murals depicting Pueblo and Navajo ceremonial life under the supervision of artist Olive Rush.

The trading post operated as Skip Maisel's Indian Jewelry and Crafts until 2019, offering Native American crafts and jewelry to visitors from its Central Avenue location.

The interior features a terrazzo floor inlaid with a thunderbird design surrounded by U.S. and Mexican silver dollars, plus a central balcony overlooking artisan workspaces.
