New Mexico Ghost Towns

The marriage of Julianita Gutierrez and James "Santiago" Hubbell in 1849 reflected the meeting of Hispano and Anglo-American cultures in New Mexico. Together they built this home and founded a bi-lingual and bi-cultural family that distinguished itself in Southwestern history. Like the family, their home richly embodies the Territorial period in New Mexico and demonstrates the mixing of Hispanic and Anglo lifestyles and cultural values.
