The Medical Arts Historic District is a historic district in northeast Albuquerque, New Mexico, consisting of four adjacent medical office complexes: Medical Arts Square (1950), Encino Medical Plaza (1955), Encino Crescent (1965), and Granada Medical Plaza (1968). The complexes reflect the movement of medical professionals in the mid-20th century away from downtown office buildings and into more suburban settings with onsite parking. Each complex consists of one-story buildings organized around a central parking areas, similar to a suburban shopping center. The Granada Medical Plaza was designed in the New Formalist style, while the other three complexes are examples of International Style architecture.[1]
The district was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 2023[2] and the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.[3]
