Stock Photo: Hopi House On The South Rim Of The Grand Canyon, Arizona, Usa
ID 234414245 © Njaganath | Megapixl.com
The building which resembles a historic Native American structure was designed and constructed in 1904 by Mary Colter at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon as a place to purchase Native American crafts that were fashioned by local artists. The outside resembles a traditional Hopi pueblo. The material used for the outside is sandstone of different sizes giving it a step pattern. The roof is flat and serves as walkways as it does in other Hopi buildings. All the windows and doorways are meager in size. Inside, the walls are adobe; the ceilings are twigs, grass and covered with mud. The staircase is adorned with paintings by an anonymous Hopi artist. The floors look adobe but are cement but were later covered in hard wood.
