President's House (University of New Mexico), Albuquerque

Located at the northeast corner of Roma Avenue and Yale Boulevard on the University of New Mexico campus, the President's House was built in 1930 in the Spanish Pueblo Revival style by architect Miles Brittelle. Nowadays, it is known as the University House. This adobe residence features vertical metal casement windows with Watson wood lintels and exposed vigas on the second story. The rustic second-story balcony is formed by vigas and supported by a log beam and posts. The building has undergone several additions since its original construction, all in the Pueblo style, which upholds the integrity of the original building. John Gaw Meem designed an addition to the house in 1952. Its shape resembles multiple squares and rectangles.

The President's House is one of the six buildings on the University of New Mexico campus included in the nomination. This residence is an outstanding example of residential Spanish Pueblo Revival-style architecture and was even used as a representative example of this style in a major survey of American building styles. It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. Despite various additions and renovations, all of them have been faithful to the style and architectural integrity of the original building.
