Old Trading Post
Hwy. 122 / Route 66, Thoreau, NM
Phone:
This abandoned Trading Post is not quite 1 mile west of Herman's Garage.
The diamond shaped windows and the mural on the front of this old trading
post make an interesting photo.
A little closer look at the mural showing the flying hawk and pink cliffs.
Also offers a glimpse at the ruble inside the ruins. There was more
than one trading post in Thoreau so this could be the old Thoreau Trading
Post, the Beautiful Mountain Trading Post or Red Mountain Trading Post
& Cottage Camp, but it doesn't appear to be the Red Arrow Trading
Post & Cottage Camp. The diamond shaped windows kind of make me
hope it was the Beautiful Mountain Trading Post.
The writing that is barely visible above the windows in this photos
says Indian Rugs and Jewelry. This part of the building looks like it
might have been an addition to the original part because the style doesn't
quite match, especially the windows..
