Adobe Building |

||||||
| Adobe, a sun-dried clay brick, historically has been an important construction material in North Africa, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. The Taos Pueblo shown here is typical of the apartment-style housing made from adobe by Tiwa-speaking Native Americans. Inhabited since at least the 13th century, the Taos Pueblo currently houses 200 people. | ||||||
