The Samuel Shalit House is a historic house in the North Valley area of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The house is a well executed example of the English Cottage style, which is not commonly found in New Mexico, and has distinctive features such as patterned brick and a faux thatched roof. It was built in 1936 by Samuel Shalit (1893–1962), a Russian Jewish immigrant who accumulated substantial real estate holdings in the North Valley. The property was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1983 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. In the mid-1980s, the house was converted from a private residence into a restaurant, Mr. Powdrell's Barbeque House, preserving much of the interior. Powdrell's is still operating as of 2023. The house is one story high and constructed from uniquely patterned red brick. The roofline is complex, consisting of a hip roof with two clipped gables, a diagonal Dutch gable, and a half-hipped dormer. The edges of the roof are rounded off to emulate thatching. The building also features tall chimneys, casement windows, some with semicircular fanlights, and a wrap-around porch with wrought-iron balustrades.

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.
