Highsmith Archive.; Credit line: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.; Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; Built by the U.S. Treasury under Supervising Architect Oscar Wenderoth in 1915, the post office opened a year later and quickly became the architectural focal point of the community. Its defining features, especially the low-pitch tile roof, boxed eaves with decorative brackets, arched windows and entry porch, elaborate grille work, and symmetrical smooth stucco facade are an expression of Spanish Colonial Revival and Italian Renaissance styles. La Junta (Spanish for "the junction") was established as a stop on the Santa Fe Railroad in 1875.
