| Nearby, the Hubbell House, with its ceiling of ponderosa pine vigas and 18-inch-thick adobe walls, is much as it was when the Family last lived there. |
| Note its wood belfries on twin towers, hand-carved corbels and vigas supporting the roof, and locally carved altar screen and santos. |
| Trees that towered over prairie rivers were transformed into pirogues, stockades for early military forts, and vigas or ceiling beams for adobe homesteads. |
| Or book a table at Byzantium, a stylishly bohemian room with wood vigas overhead. |
| Early morning out on the patio, a hummingbird dodges between vigas, the buzzing beat of its wings the only sound to break the stillness. |
| This is not a weak imitation of traditional Southwest architecture, complete with fake vigas. |
