Ernie Pyle House/Library, National Historic Landmark journalist house in Albuquerque, United States.
The Ernie Pyle House is a white single-story residence with wooden siding that now serves as a public library branch. The building displays exhibitions about Pyle's career as a war correspondent while also offering books and digital resources to the community.
The house was built in 1940 as the private residence of Pulitzer Prize winner Ernie Pyle. It became Albuquerque's first library branch in 1948 and has served as a cultural landmark ever since.
The house tells the story of Pyle's work covering conflicts and shows how his reporting touched people's lives. Visitors see personal items and photographs that document his everyday experiences while reporting from war zones.

The original white picket fence that Pyle himself built still stands on the property today. The grounds also preserve a burial marker for Cheetah, Pyle's beloved dog who traveled with him during his reporting assignments.
