Hodgin Hall, the original building on the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque, was completed in 1892 and designed by Jesse Wheelock in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Serving as the university's sole structure for nearly a decade, it faced structural problems that prompted President William Tight to undertake a significant remodeling in 1908. The renovation transformed the building into Pueblo Revival style, featuring characteristic stepped and asymmetrical massing, stuccoed walls, vigas, and details drawn from traditional Pueblo and mission architecture. As one of the first Pueblo Revival buildings in New Mexico, Hodgin Hall became influential in establishing the regional style. Threatened with demolition in the 1970s, the building was preserved through alumni fundraising efforts and is now listed on both the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places. Since 1983, it has housed the university's Alumni Association and Alumni Relations offices.
