Built around 1900 in Las Vegas, New Mexico, the Eldorado Hotel at 514 Grand exemplifies the Richardsonian Romanesque style through its distinctive semi-circular arches. The brick structure showcases the distinctive local brickwork that emerged following the establishment of a nearby brickyard in 1898, blending Romanesque arches with the strong symmetry of prevailing classicism. Its facades are notable for fine embellishments including stepped and corbeled lines, projecting brick accents, and recessed panels that demonstrate the creativity of local builders and bricklayers. Originally a hotel and briefly known as the Monticello Hotel, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and also appears on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties. By 1983, the city of Las Vegas had become its owner and operated it as the Vincente Salazar Senior Citizen's Center.
