Originally opened in 1928, restored in 1991, then restored again in 2006, the El Morro dominates the south side of the 200 block of Coal Avenue in downtown Gallup. The original Carl Boller design seated 900, though today it seats about half that number.
An article in the Gallup Independent about the 2006 reopening can be seen here.
