New Mexico vernacular is a style of vernacular architecture.
It developed from the c.1870s to c.1940s.[1]
One typical form is the one-story hipped box massing, with very limited ornamentation or no ornamentation at all. The elements of spare ornamentation might include "Italianate brackets and scroll-sawn ornament, lathe-turned or square chamfered columns, wood shingles on gable ends, and diamond-patterned windows".[1]
