Haha, Taos??? No.
Not in Taos. No mission style.
Most are Pueblo style, some Territorial style... Zero Mission.
Partly, Mission does not work at 7K feet above sea level where it's routinely zero degrees F in the winter with 24" of snow.
I lived there.
That's like my friends from Texas thinking about moving to Santa Fe. Went up for a long weekend in July; I met them there.
Lunch the second day they said they expected to see palm trees, there were none, it was 85 degrees that day.
What? I said... this is 7500 feet above sea level, in winter it gets way below freezing, often a couple feet of snow. This is basically the same climate as Denver, CO.
They did not move to Santa Fe.
