Juan de Dios Chavez House

The Juan de Dios Chavez House is a historic house in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The date of construction is unknown but it was probably built sometime before 1875. The property was part of the land on which Juan Cristobal Armijo built his "New Homestead" around that time, and the Juan de Dios Chavez House is thought to be older based on its architecture. Juan de Dios Chavez, who belonged to an old North Valley family, acquired the house in the early 20th century. The house was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1983 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.The house is a one-story, flat-roofed building constructed from terrones, large adobe bricks, with outer walls 24 inches (61 cm) thick. It contains four rooms arranged in an L shape, with three rooms on the west side and one room on the east side. There is a double wall between the two sections, suggesting that they may originally have been separate buildings. Each room originally had a separate exterior door, but some were later converted into windows. Two of the rooms have original ceilings with round vigas.

Montaño station
Montaño station

Montaño is a station on the New Mexico Rail Runner Express commuter rail line on Montaño Rd. between Edith Blvd. and Second St., in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The station opened on April 7, 2014, marking the end of construction of the Montaño Transit Center. The station platform and shelters were built in pueblo-revival style, and features green technology, such as LED lighting and solar panels. The platform itself can accommodate a maximum of five rail cars, correcting a problem that arose with other stations along the route concerning inadequate space for passenger cars. The parking lot offers some sheltered parking structures, as well as bicycle lockers. Bus bays have been created to accommodate current transit service to the station and allow for expansion of bus service to the Montaño Transit Center at an undisclosed future date. The transit center is designed to link residents in the north valley neighborhoods to both ABQ RIDE and the Rail Runner, and to relieve overcrowded parking lots at the Los Ranchos/Journal Center station.Starting January 11, passengers can transfer to ABQ RIDE route 157, which serves both Cottonwood and Coronado malls, and Kirtland Air Force Base. The station is also served by the NMDOT Park and Ride Purple route. Each of the stations contains an icon to express each community's identity. The icon representing this station represents is a leaf from a cottonwood tree, which is native to the Rio Grande region.
