Constructed in 1913, the Gross, Kelly and Company Warehouse, located in the Santa Fe Railyard, is the earliest example of a commercial building designed in the Spanish Pueblo Revival Style by a primary creator of the style, Isaac Hamilton Rapp. Rapp proceeded to design several other important early Santa Fe Style buildings, including Sunmount Sanatorium (1914) and the New Mexico Building at the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego (1915), which Rapp re-created, with some modifications, in Santa Fe as the New Mexico Museum of Art. The Gross, Kelly and Company Warehouse also represents the formation of an important wholesale merchandiser in New Mexico. Gross, Kelly and Company originated in Kansas in 1869 and established warehouses at key distribution points along the railroad lines, advancing into Colorado and by 1880 into New Mexico.
