Hotel Belen
The Belen Hotel, at 200 Becker Ave. in Belen, New Mexico, United States, was built in 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
It is a two-story red brick flat-roofed L-shaped building with a chamfered corner. The hotel primarily served Santa Fe Railroad personnel. It was built for Mrs. Bertha Rutz, a German immigrant, who ran the hotel and its cafe until her death in 1953.
Since 1996 it has been the home of artist Judy Chicago* and her husband Donald Woodman, who spent three years converting it into a home.
*Judy Chicago, born Judith Sylvia Cohen; July 20, 1939, is an American feminist artist, art educator, and writer known for her large collaborative art installation pieces about birth and creation images, which examine the role of women in history and culture.
Not the first time I have photographed this magnificent building.
This time it's for #48/124 Historic: 124 pictures in 2024.
