SANTE FE, N.M. (AP) - The National Park Service is planning a yearlong project to rehabilitate an historic building in Santa Fe.
The federal agency says it plans to replace the exterior stucco and roof of the Old Santa Fe Trail Building and reinforce its adobe walls to stand up to potential earthquakes.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the building in the 1930s, and the Park Service says it is considered a prime example of Spanish-Pueblo Revival architecture.
The building houses a collection of regional art as well as historic original furniture, fixtures and other furnishings fabricated by the CCC and Works Progress Administration.
Approximately 70 Parks Service administrative employees who work in the building will be temporarily relocated when work begins in 2018.
