The Springer Building is a historic commercial building in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built during 1929-30 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
The structure was designed by the Springer Transfer Company, which included architect Miles Brittelle, Sr. While another architect, George M. Williamson, designed a different office and storage facility for the company with access to the Santa Fe railway line, Brittelle worked on this specific building.
The architect used massing and structure to give the Springer Building a Mayan architecture motif. This motif was achieved with slight adjustments to the required massing and structure.
Today, the twelve-metre structure remains at Tijeras Avenue Northeast 121. It stands as a historic example of commercial architecture in the region.
