Regarding Carrizozo Woman's Club. Excerpt from the clubhouse's National Register of Historic Places nomination:
Since its construction in 1939, the building has been in continuous use as a gathering place for many of Carrizozo's social and voluntary activities and is considered a landmark within the community. Typical of many of the public and institutional buildings constructed in New Mexico during the 1930s, the building incorporates a number of details and materials associated with the Pueblo Revival style, including adobe bricks, exposed vigas, and a portal. Particularly notable are the exposed interior beams, especially in the circular meeting room or Round Room, where an elaborate truss system in the crawl space above the ceiling supports the beams. The best example of the Pueblo Revival style in the community, the Carrizozo Woman's Club has undergone only minor alterations to its original plan and retains a high degree of integrity as to setting and location, design, materials and workmanship.
