Koshare Kiva Museum

Otero County

The 1948 museum (with additions in 1958 and 1980) is a good example of the Pueblo Revival style.  It is the only identified example of the style in Otero County.

With its open span crib roof, the round ceremonial room section is a rare example of Hogan-type construction.
