A northern Arizona hotelier, who restored La Posada in Winslow, has purchased a century-old railroad hotel in Las Vegas, N.M.
Allan Affeldt said Monday he bought the 25,000-square-foot La Castaneda earlier this month for $400,000.
The mission revival hotel, completed in 1898, was one of the first of the Harvey Houses, Fred Harvey’s chain of hotels and restaurants that furthered tourism development in the Southwest.
La Castaneda in 1899 hosted the first reunion of Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders from the Spanish-American War.
