Tour the Roque Lobato House, known as one of Santa Fe’s “invisible” historic homes and now the home of Susan and Karl L. Horn, at our annual Collections of Distinction event. The residence, located across the street from Santa Fe’s Scottish Rite Center, dates back to the 18th century, and represents the birth of Santa Fe Style architecture. The wonderful core building is still extant as are additions made in the early 20th century by archaeologist and former SAR Director Sylvanus G. Morley. The Horns have restored the house beautifully and have put together a remarkable collection of art, including an ancient Puebloan pottery collection, as well as pieces by artist, builder, and furniture maker William Penhallow Henderson, also the architect of El Delirio, the estate that is now the site of SAR.
Generously hosted by Susan and Karl Horn.
