description

Summary

Significance: The Chapel, the Classroom-Dormitory Building and the Auditorium of St. Anthony's Orphanage stand as rare institutional examples of Mission Style architecture in New Mexico. They constitute a three building historic complex. They are even more significant in terms of their social, humanitarian and educational use. Over 5,000 children were cared for and educated in these buildings. Once one of the most lush and beautiful facilities in Albuquerque, it served as a focus of charitable and humanitarian spirit for over fifty years.
