Description
A two story dormitory building lies just east of the cemetery, the west wall of the building acting for its length as the east wall of the cemetery. There is quite an angle between the axes of the two structures and the explanation probably is that the dormitory was built first, and when the cemetery was laid out behind it, its wall was used for a closing wall regardless of its being slightly out of line. The walls of the dormitory stand nearly the two full stories high, but the roof and floors are gone. There were two large rooms on the ground floor and a rather pretentious flight of steps led up from a large door in the middle of the east wall to the floor above.

It is a nice memory for me as well. I used to live in Taos, New Mexico as well as many other locations around the state, and I never grew tired of seeing the old adobes. New Mexico is truly a unique and beautiful place. Once again you have my vote
