Belen Harvey House, Railroad museum in Belen, United States

The two-story building combines Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with a distinctive horseshoe-shaped marble counter in the former lunchroom.

The structure, built in 1910 as part of Fred Harvey's restaurant chain, operated until 1939 and temporarily reopened during World War II to serve troop trains.

The museum displays extensive collections of railroad memorabilia, including Jim Sloan's postcards and Eva Fuqua's scrapbook from her time as a Harvey Girl.

Located at 104 North First Street, the museum offers guided tours from Wednesday through Saturday with entry available through suggested donations.

Female employees known as Harvey Girls earned monthly wages of 17.50 dollars plus accommodations, maintaining strict standards of appearance without wearing makeup.
