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.

The building's name comes from the wool trade that defined the Warehouse District. Frank Bond's Bond-McRae company and the New Mexico Cooperative Wool Marketing Association had offices here, and the warehouse could hold five million pounds of wool and hides. Since 1994 it has belonged to Youth Development, Inc., which uses it sporadically for concerts and dances.

The building stands at 516 Central Avenue SW in the Warehouse District of downtown Albuquerque. Since 1994 it has been owned by Youth Development, Inc. and is used only sporadically for concerts, dances and other events, so there are no regular visiting hours; check with the owner before planning a stop. The entrance is set behind a dark metal grille under the marquee.

The interior carries an Egyptian influence, most visible in the design of the 36 supporting columns. The building was completed in 1929 with 40,000 square feet of space and could store five million pounds of wool and hides. Since 1994 it has belonged to Youth Development, Inc., a local nonprofit, and has been used sporadically for concerts and dances.
