Salvador Armijo House, Historic adobe house in Old Town, Albuquerque, United States.

The Salvador Armijo House is a single-story adobe hacienda in Albuquerque's Old Town, built around a central courtyard on a footprint of 100 by 70 feet (30 by 21 m). Its walls are 32 inches (81 cm) thick, mostly adobe with some stone sections. The 1875 remodeling enclosed the zaguanes to form hallways and added portales and windows with Territorial-style wooden trim; the west side was largely demolished in the early 1900s and a south addition built.

Salvador Armijo, a merchant and nephew of Governor Manuel Armijo, built the hacienda in the 1840s. It stayed in the family for five generations and was remodeled in the 1870s and early 1900s. In 1977 Armijo's great-great-granddaughter Frances Wilson sold it, and it became the Maria Theresa restaurant, which closed in 2004. The adjoining Hotel Albuquerque bought the building in 2009.

The house is now styled as Casa Esencia, a wedding venue run by the adjoining Hotel Albuquerque, which bought the building in 2009. Before that it housed a restaurant called Maria Theresa, named after the silver coin. The name recalls Salvador Armijo, the merchant who built the hacienda in the 1840s.

The building operates as an event venue through Hotel Albuquerque and hosts private celebrations and receptions in its historical rooms. Advance contact with the hotel is recommended to confirm access and learn about current visiting options.

The 1875 remodeling enclosed the zaguanes, the covered passageways that served as entrances, to form hallways, and added new portales and windows with Territorial-style wooden trim. The house was built with very few windows, so these openings changed how the interior was used and lit.
