The Pueblo were cliff dwellers. They built homes
of adobe brick on cliffs and on mesas in the southwest.
Homes were stacked one on top
of the other, like an apartment complex. Sometimes they were stacked
four high. Those who had homes on the ground floor could simply walk
up to their door. Others had to climb ladders to reach their front
door.
Each floor of homes had a walkway that ran in
front of many doorways. Once you reached the next level up, if that
was your floor, you used the walkway to reach your front door. If you
needed to go higher, you found a ladder and climbed to the next level.
