La Glorieta, Historic residence in Albuquerque, United States.

La Glorieta is a one-story adobe house with four wings enclosing a central courtyard; the north and east wings are the oldest parts, and Franz Huning added the other two in the late 19th century. The house has about 12 rooms.

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.

Franz Huning, a German immigrant, named the property La Glorieta, Spanish for "arbor" or "bower", after buying it before 1861. The name does not describe the courtyard layout. The house hosted social gatherings and guests such as William Jennings Bryan.

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.

The courtyard cottonwood that Franz Huning planted grew to enormous size and survived into the 20th century, but it became diseased and was cut down in 1984. Huning, whom Harper's called "an impassioned tree-planter", also grew crops and ran a mill, Molino de la Glorieta, on the estate.
