701 Roma, NW, built circa 1904, is significant not only for its historic associations with the turn of the 19th century boom of Albuquerque's "new town", but also because it retains a substantial amount of its original Queen Anne detailing in spite of a recent history of unsympathetic alterations and uses.…
Little is known of the original owner/builder of 701 Roma, NW. Records do show that Martha A. Talbott (widowed in 1893) purchased the land (lots 139 and 140, block 12) from Maude and R.K. Culley in 1901. The 1902 Sanborn Map shows no development at all In the 700 block of Roma, NW. The first specific evidence of the house shows on the 1908 Sanborn Map, but W.E. Mauger had purchased the property from Talbott in 1907 for $4,350.00, indicating that a structure of the scale of 701 Roma, NW likely existed. Therefore, the house was probably constructed between 1903 and 1906.
The W.E. Mauger family occupied the house from 1907 until 1932, adding lot 138 next door to the property in 1912. The 1933 City Directory listed the property as vacant. It was occupied by E.L. Mitchell from 1934 until 1937, by H.J. Ellard from 1937 until 1939, and by J. Perino in 1939. The 1940 City Directory lists the property as the Mrs. Darl Perino Boardinghouse, the first evidence of the house changing to its current use. In 1949,it was known as the Greystone Apartments, owned by A.R. Evans.Photographed By Duane and Tracy Marsteller, October 11, 20232. W.E. Mauger House Marker
