Summary

Significance: According to the widow of the builder, this house was constructed about 1905. It consisted of but 2 rooms and had a flat, earth roof. When, a few years later, the ridge roof was added, the old earth roof was not disturbed. The newly formed attic was approached by an outside ladder. The use of board and batten roofing at this late date instead of corrugated iron can be explained by the distance of Taos from a railroad. In 1930 Felix Trujillo, son of the builder, added a flat-roofed addition.
