Blanket Box

From the exhibition:
Setting the Standard: The Fred Harvey Company and Its Legacy

New Mexico History Museum

A blanket box designed by Mary Colter for La Fonda Hotel, Santa Fe, New Mexico, ca. 1929

These boxes were found at the foot of each guest’s bed. Behind a door that swings open on the front, guests would have found extra linens and blankets inside.
