Route 66 (Hwy 124) at Abeita Rd., McCartys, NM

East < GO > West

This crumbling building stands at the intersection of Abeita Rd and Hwy 124 (Route 66). I haven't found a definitive answer as to what purpose it served, but it's right at a fairly significant local intersection, so I'm guessing it served as a store or other commercial purpose. Taking Abeita Road south takes you to Pueblo Road just west of the Santa Maria Mission.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
