Natalie Rivera Benavent

The incomparable Spiegelberg-Spitz House. A rare gem in the crown of the City Different, this graceful historically significant residence turned gallery was originally built c.1870 by the very same European artisans attracted to New Mexico during Archbishop Lamy’s building program. The tallest adobe structure of its time and the first to have indoor gas pipes, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The property’s current owner undertook an extensive restoration effort in the early 2000’s, installing central A/C, finishing the second floor, replacing the roof supports, and more. With 10 rooms of the first floor, (most with fireplaces that are concealed), a kitchen, and three bathrooms, the floor plan options are endless. Natural light filtered through undulating lead glass in original windows bathes the interior with an ethereal glow. If walls could talk, this serene and stately home would tell of the many merchants, bankers, doctors, and politicians that have crossed its threshold. Dramatic high ceilings, cast-iron fixtures, pressed tin designs, deep sills and a large porch add to the by-gone charm and nostalgia. With flexible BCD zoning to accommodate myriad uses at an iconic downtown location with ample parking (parcel is over half an acre), high visibility and strong community presence, this time-tested treasure you will make you feel the pulse of this vibrant capital.
