The '''Rosenwald Building''' is a historic building located in Downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. Designed by Henry Trost of the El Paso firm of Trost & Trost and built in 1910, it was the first reinforced concrete building in the city.<ref name="planning">{{cite web | title=Rosenwald Building | url=http://www.cabq.gov/planning/our-department/urban-design-and-development/historic-landmarks#rosenwald | publisher=City of Albuquerque Planning Department | accessdate=3 September 2012 | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021081726/http://www.cabq.gov/planning/our-department/urban-design-and-development/historic-landmarks#rosenwald | archivedate=21 October 2012 }}</ref> It is a massive three-story building with a two-story recessed entrance and simple geometric ornamentation.

Originally the entire 42,000-square-foot<ref>{{cite news|title=Architecture firm buys Rosenwald Building|newspaper=Albuquerque Journal|date=June 10, 1997|location=NM|page=D5}}</ref> building was occupied by Aron and Edward Rosenwald's flagship department store, which was praised by the ''Albuquerque Journal'' as "the handsomest, most up-to-date, and most complete department store in the southwest" upon opening. McLellan Stores moved into the ground floor in 1927, remaining there for about 50 years. The Rosenwald Building was renovated in 1981 and the upper floors were converted to office space.<ref name="planning"/> The city of Albuquerque bought two floors of the building in 2008.<ref>{{cite news|title=Museums To Join at Downtown Site|newspaper=Albuquerque Journal|date=February 15, 2008|location=NM|page=D2}}</ref>
