Single Family Residence in Santa Fe, NM

Downtown Historical Tri-Plex with 3 units (One studio, and Two separate units). The Sara Melton House is a late nineteenth-century adobe home which represents a long history of ownership beginning in 1871, when Nestora Gonzales (de Sisneros), a fifty-year-old widow, and her four children purchased the one-room adobe house for $49. Expanded over the years by family members, the Sara Melton House remains an example of how related, familial, and multi-generational households lived together and enlarged their houses as needed. The home also demonstrates the regional practice of bequeathing single rooms or groups of rooms to various family members. The Sara Melton House incorporates the best of Santa Fe style and character in a classic downtown setting.
