Regarding Hilario Lopez House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Hilario Lopez House is important for its architecture, a cut-down New Mexican version of eastern styles executed in adobe. The careful trim and good proportions make it an outstanding Vernacular home. The house was probably built about 1907, when it appears on an Albuquerque Abstract Company map. Hilario Lopez is listed as the resident in City Directories from 1908 through 1916; he was a carpenter for the Santa Fe Railroad, which may account for the fine woodwork on the house.
