Zuni Pueblo The Zuni Pueblo of the 19th century was made up of adobe houses up to 5 stories high. Early visitors tell of the streets appearing like tunnels in places because the houses were built over them. The houses in today's pueblo are built of adobe, cement block, and wood and are seldom over one story high. The Zunis had a small footbridge across the river in the 19th century. O'Sullivan's photograph was made near the southern end of the bridge looking north. My picture was taken from the south end of the modern bridge across the Zuni River. The "river" is the grassy area in the foreground. Most of its water has been diverted to irrigate crops.
