Description
Item Description:On one of its beams is carved the game of the Governor of New Mexico, the Marquez de la Penuela, who rebuilt it in 1710, and that of his Aide and Ensign, Senor Don Agustine Flores Vergara. The gallery has a puncheon floor, interesting to many people, also quite an amount of Spanish and native carving. The beams and logs are from the mountains near Santa Fe. The old roof was replaced in 1830 by the present one. It and the spiral pillars are native work
