Santa Fe made Southwestern imagery an important part of its public identity, and many of its stations were designed or remodeled with architectural elements inspired by traditional adobe buildings. Pinkish-tan stucco walls, tile roofs, and mission-style details gave these passenger facilities a recognizable regional appearance. While 933-2920 is based on a Santa Fe prototype, similarly styled stations could also be found on other railroads, giving the structure additional possibilities for model railroad layouts.
