Sara Raynolds Hall stands on the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque as a notable example of Pueblo Revival architecture completed in 1921. Designed by Arno K. Leupold with Edward B. Cristy as supervising architect, the one-story structure features brick bearing walls finished with beige stucco, embodying the Pueblo style that became the architectural standard for the university. Originally housing the home economics department, the building was privately funded by local citizens, including Joshua Raynolds, whose mother was its namesake. The construction cost of $16,000, plus several thousand dollars in equipment, reflected substantial community investment in the institution's development. Recognized for its historical significance, Sara Raynolds Hall was added to both the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
