The Harwood School is a historic building in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which was originally a Methodist boarding school. Built in 1925, it is a two-story, H-shaped building with a red brick facade and Neoclassical detailing. The building ceased operating as a school in 1976 and now houses a community art center as part of the outreach programs of Escuela del Sol Montessori (an independent school serving children aged 18 months through 8th grade). It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1979 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.The Harwood Girls' School was established in 1887 by Emily Harwood and her husband Thomas, a Methodist minister. The school operated from various locations including a house in Downtown Albuquerque before moving to the 7th Street location in 1925. Two additional buildings were added to the campus in 1935 and 1940, respectively. The Harwood School continued to serve girls in grades 1-12 until the 1970s, when it was closed due to lack of funding.

Manzano Court Addition Historic District
Manzano Court Addition Historic District

The Manzano Court Addition Historic District is a historic district in the Downtown Neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It encompasses the entirety of the Manzano Court Addition, a small subdivision consisting of a one-block-long cul-de-sac and twelve surrounding houses, eight of which are contributing properties. The subdivision was platted in 1923 by Anna Swetland Gotshall (1892–1985), an Ohio native who came to Albuquerque for tuberculosis treatment. Gotshall also designed and built the subdivision's first eight houses between 1925 and 1928. Four additional houses were completed later. The district was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 2003 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.Manzano Court is a short cul-de-sac opening onto 11th Street with six houses on either side. It incorporates various features drawing inspiration from the City Beautiful movement, including landscaped medians and an ornamental gateway at the entrance to the court, which are unusual in the city. Of the eight contributing houses, seven are Gotshall's original houses at 1000, 1001, 1004, 1008, 1009, 1013, and 1021 Manzano Court. These houses are of differing designs and materials, but share a similar scale and modest Mission Revival details. The eighth contributing house (1025) was built in 1937 and is in the Pueblo Revival style. Three newer houses and one of Gotshall's houses that was remodeled are considered non-contributing.

Pete V. Domenici United States Courthouse
Pete V. Domenici United States Courthouse

The Pete V. Domenici United States Courthouse is a federal courthouse located in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. The building was completed in 1998 and named in honor of Senator Pete Domenici at a ceremony in 2004. Since its completion it has been joined at the intersection of Fourth and Lomas by two additional courthouses, the Bernalillo County Courthouse on the southwest corner and the Metropolitan Courthouse on the northwest corner. The seven-story courthouse is 176 feet (54 m) tall, placing it tenth on the list of Albuquerque's tallest buildings. Planning for the courthouse began in 1993 and after some initial wrangling the city chose a two-block site north of Lomas between Third and Fourth streets. This plan was immediately embroiled in controversy because one of the blocks was the site of McClellan Park, which dated from 1919 and had housed New Mexico's Madonna of the Trail monument since 1928. Though McClellan Park had deteriorated badly by the 1990s, opponents of the courthouse maintained that the park was a historic landmark worthy of preservation. On the other hand, supporters of the courthouse, led by Mayor Martin Chavez, considered the park an eyesore that could be put to a better use as a site for new development. Eventually the city won out, and McClellan Park was bulldozed in 1996 as construction began on the courthouse. The Madonna of the Trail monument was moved to the northwest corner of the courthouse site, where it remains.
