Coronado Lodge Listed in National Register

The Coronado Lodge in Pueblo, Colorado, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 30. Built in the 1940s, the multi-building motel is significant as an example of the Pueblo Revival style, with most of its buildings composed of adobe bricks made by local adobero Jose B. Garcia. The Coronado is also notable for its association with African American heritage, for its welcoming of black patrons starting ca. 1946 and its listing in the Green Book starting in 1957. The motel is also significant for its association with commerce in Pueblo, serving as a motel form ca. 1941 until the present. The Coronado also was one of the locations featured in the 1983 film "National Lampoon's Vacation." Front Range produced the nomination for Historic Pueblo and the owners.
