The wedged-shaped Baca Street District marks the south;ern end of
the Santa Fe Railyard and once served as a coal and fuiel storage
yard for the Denver and Rio Grande and New Mexico Central railways.
The area still connects to the north railyard by a still visible rail
alignment across the area currently occupied by the New Mexico
School of the Deaf. The ten-acre site now hosts myriad creative
businesses and non-traditional living spaces that serve as examples
of how Santa Fe might make innovative use of limited urban
space to create thriving, livable, and breathable micro-communities.
Head over to the Baca Aailyard District (900 Block of Shoofly Street)
10 am-2 pm Saturday, Aug. 20 and be treated to special tours of the
living spaces, businesses, gallery openings, and a demonstration of
Hempcrete, an architectural building material of the futurH.
