Loretto Stair

Stairway at Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe. The story goes a carpenter came by while the chapel was being built, and there wasn't enough space to build a standard staircase. This mysterious guy who showed up on his donkey said he could build a spiral stair. He accomplished his task and left. No one can figure out how he built them without any vertical supports. It's now referred to as the "miraculous stair".
