Regarding Hesselden House.

A two-story house of red sandstone, this house is one of Albuquerque's early post-railroad buildings, and one of the few good local examples of Italianate style. It was built as a duplex in 1884. Long known as "the stone house," it is one of the few surviving stone buildings in the city. Queen Anne trim decorates the windows.
Walter Trumbull built this duplex with the entrance doors on the building's east and west sides. After Trumbull died in 1891, the duplex had several tenants including the Gross Military Academy until 1902, when it was purchased by well-known local contractor Wallace Hesselden for his family home.
