MABEL DODGE LUHAN HOUSE
Taos, New Mexico
Also known as the “Big House,” this property was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1991. The former home of arts supporter and writer Mabel Dodge Luhan, which is now used as a hotel and conference center, was a central hub for artistic salons in the early 20th century and hosted many well-known painters, writers, photographers, musicians, and emerging artists of the Taos Art Colony.
An exceptional example of traditional Puebloan construction, the main public space—the kitchen, reception office, and rooms—immerse the visitor in the historic charm of northern New Mexico architecture and culture. The outdoor decks and gardens are well-kept and serve as inspiring backdrops for recognized guest fine art painters, including D.H. Lawrence, Ansel Adams, Georgia O’Keeffe, Martha Graham, and Edward Weston. Bonus fun fact: the home was also owned by
actor Dennis Hopper.
