Description & Details
Located directly behind Fuller Lodge and the Los Alamos History Museum, this original Los Alamos Bathtub Row home has seen a lot of history - housing teachers from Los Alamos Ranch School days through the scientists of The Manhattan Project (including Enrico Fermi at one time). In more recent years it was the home of a family with deep roots in New Mexico and Los Alamos - collectors/dealers of books, Native American art, pottery, jewelry, kachinas and weavings. They formed close relationships with Pueblo people and collected many unsigned large historic pots as well as later signed pieces; many of the Indian School paintings were commissioned directly from the artists.
LOTS MORE PHOTOS AND DETAILS TO COME, PLEASE CHECK BACK! WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS WHEN TIME ALLOWS, BUT PLEASE READ THROUGH THE COMPLETE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND CLICK THROUGH THE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS BEFORE CONTACTING US.
Please park in one of the public parking lots off Central Avenue, and walk to the home, which is located directly behind Fuller Lodge and the Los Alamos History Museum.
