I couldn't read all of this sign because one of the words is faded. Cuartel de La Merced ____ de la Communidad de Tecolote. The blank is the missing word. It means Place to give thanks ____ from the community of Tecolote, New Mexico.
I didn't speak Spanish well enough when I made this photograph to ask the local people what it was, but I think it is the meeting house of the Penitente brotherhood, which is an organization of Spanish Catholic men in northern New Mexico that formed after Mexico became independent of Spain in 1821 and the Mexican government expelled the Jesuits who had served as priests in this remote part of the Spanish Empire.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
