Lazzell, Carleen C. "Civic Architecture in Transition: The Rise of Nineteenth Century Victorian Era County Courthouses in New Mexico," American Studies Program, University of New Mexico, May 1996.
This dissertation focuses on the impact which the arrival of the railroad had on New Mexico’s built environment after 1878. Although the territory had been part of the United States since 1846, little had changed culturally or architecturally. Bringing their cultural preferences with them, significant numbers of Anglos began to infiltrate after the railroad was extended across the territory. Both native Hispanos and Anglo immigrants participated in a building boom which changed the architectural geography of New Mexico. This study discusses county courthouses, designed in the Second Empire and Richardsonian styles, which were constructed between 1882 and 1890 in the New Mexico Territory.
