La Glorieta, Historic residence in Albuquerque, United States.
La Glorieta is an adobe residence in Albuquerque arranged around a central courtyard with four wings extending outward. The oldest sections are located to the north and east, revealing the original craftsmanship of its construction.
The structure dates to at least 1803 and may be Albuquerque's oldest house, with roots in the Spanish settlement period of the 1600s. Confederate forces occupied it during the American Civil War in the 1860s.
The name refers to the circular arrangement of rooms around the central courtyard. Visitors can see today how this layout shaped daily life and social gatherings in the space.
The building now operates as part of a private elementary school and may have limited access during school hours or events. It is best to check ahead whether visits or tours are available on your planned dates.
A German immigrant named Franz Huning transformed it into a social hub in the late 1800s, hosting notable guests including a prominent political figure of that era. This role as a gathering place is less known than the military events it witnessed.
