The Evolution of the Gregorio Crespin House in Santa Fe

The Evolution of the Gregorio Crespin House in Santa Fe

From a simple two-room house built in the 18th century to a twelve-room residence, the Gregorio Crespin House has expanded significantly over the centuries.

Gregorio Crespin built the adobe structure at 132 E. De Vargas St. in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as a two-room house between 1720 and 1750. The building, also known as the Van Stone House, remained in its original form until it was expanded in 1867 to include five rooms and a portal.

In 1914, when the Van Stone family rented the property, the house was enlarged again to twelve rooms. The site was later listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, which included two contributing buildings.
