Constructed 1920.
New Mexico Military Institute was founded by Colonel Robert S. Goss and Captain Joseph C. Lea in 1891, originally as the Goss Military Academy, with an initial enrollment of 28 students. In 1895 it acquired the land at its current location, and in 1910 it received land-grant status and revenue from the New Mexico government. Hundreds of Institute graduates served in World War I and World War II, including Medal of Honor recipient John C. Morgan. The original area of land for the campus was donated to the school by local rancher James J. Hagerman, for whom the main barracks complex is named. The Institute’s buildings are made in a uniform Gothic Revival Style style out of buff brick. The campus is a designated area on the National Register of Historic Places. The historic buildings on the NMMI campus were designed by the Trinidad, Colorado firm of Rapp and Rapp.
