Regarding Thomas F. Keleher, Jr. House. Excerpt from the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Fourth Ward District, which includes this property:
An excellent example of bungalow styling, this house, built in 1910-11, is the third in a complex of Keleher family homes at the corner of Tijeras and Keleher. The shingled building is covered by a gable roof with a deep overhang, exposed carved rafters and triangular brackets. This bungalow was built for Thomas F. Keleher, Jr., who lived here from 1920-1921. The Keleher family, with various members successful in real estate and in law, has long been a major influence in Albuquerque's development. Thomas Jr. became president of the T. F. Keleher Leather Company, his father's business.
