Description:
A Pueblo house is an apartment-like structure built by Ancestral Puebloan people in the American Southwest. They are typically constructed with adobe bricks that are made of sun-dried clay, sand, and grass. These multi-story buildings, sometimes reaching four or five stories, were designed for defense and community living. They featured flat, earthen roofs accessible by ladders. Learn how these architectural marvels are built and the importance of climate and geography.
