frame windows with pediment wood lintels. The west wall which faces the Plaza is especially unique. The center of the parapet with its brick coping was once the location of the famous Corn Exchange Hotel of the 1870's and 1880's. The window directly beneath the sign was the entrance to the Hotel where Butterfield Stage coaches would drop off wiery passengers for an overnight stay enroute to San Diego, California or San Antonio, Texas.

Inside the building many of the original construction still exists. Two foot thick adobe walls continue to brace original roofs of exposed vigas and latillas. Two traditional fireplaces are the focal points of their respective dining rooms, one of which was used over a century ago to repair equipment for the Stagecoaches.

The La Posta Compound is on the National Register of Historic places and is a must stop for the Southwest traveler.
