Listed on the National Register of Historic Places as The Hardware Store, the brick building that houses BARCOA and XICO was built in 1928. It’s inscribed as The Knights of Pythias Building on the front facade. Almost everything you see inside the space comes from Mexico – the bars, the tiles, doors, glassware, furniture, and even most of the pots outside. The space was beautifully designed by our friend, Paulina Hassel-Martínez of Studio Victoria, and local architect Rick Swanson.
