The city should have just grabbed this house right after the owner died in the 80s. Too bad. Another historic landmark stupidly managed and now pretty much gone.
What a shame. I remember that house when it was all overgrown with plant life. Always wondered who lived there. I never knew it was the first house on the mesa.
I love the second comment on the article in the link:
"Shame of the neighborhood and the developer! It could have been a mini museum ..."
Right. Like the people in the neighborhood had ANYTHING do do with it. What developer?
"mini museum?" -- Who's going to pay for it?
Sometimes, you have to just take pictures and let it go. You can't save everything.
I could see a long time ago that it was not save-able. It could not have been restored.
It could have been replicated, but not restored.
In the long run, Albuquerque will be buried in hundreds of feet of lava. Nothing is forever.
It's sad. I always liked that place. I've known it for over 25 years now.
