Wool Warehouse, Commercial warehouse in downtown Albuquerque, United States
The Wool Warehouse is a rectangular brick structure with tall ceilings and large windows typical of early 20th-century commercial buildings in the region. The building was designed with industrial features to handle storage and handling of goods efficiently.
Frank Bond commissioned this warehouse in 1928 to support the growing wool industry across the region. It became a major distribution hub for wool throughout the southwestern United States.
This building shows how Albuquerque grew from a small trading community into a real commercial center and the wool trade was central to that growth. You can see how business and trade shaped the city's identity.
The building is located in downtown Albuquerque and remains in active use while maintaining its original structure. Access may vary depending on current commercial activities, so it is best to check ahead before visiting.
Architect T. Charles Gaastra designed the building with specific features to support wool storage, including temperature and humidity control systems. These technical details remain visible inside and show the care taken in planning for this specialized use.
