Ernest L. Blumenschein House, Historic house museum in Taos, United States.

The Ernest L. Blumenschein House is a residence museum in Taos featuring eleven rooms and a central courtyard, built with adobe walls in the Spanish Pueblo style. The rooms are furnished with pieces, paintings, and personal objects that span multiple generations of the family.

The oldest parts of the adobe house probably predate the 1820s; its exact construction date is uncertain. Painter Herbert Dunton used it as home and studio before Ernest L. Blumenschein, who settled there in 1919 and stayed until 1960. Blumenschein's heirs donated the house in 1962, and it became a museum after serving as a multiunit residence. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1965.

The house was already a gathering point for artists before Blumenschein bought it: Herbert Dunton had used it as home and studio. Today the rooms hold family possessions, the family's own art and works by other Taos artists, plus European and Spanish Colonial antiques. Blumenschein, trained in Cincinnati, New York and Paris, kept it as home and studio from 1919 to 1960.

The museum is easily walkable from downtown Taos and is located on Ledoux Street. Visitors should plan to spend enough time to explore the rooms and courtyard, especially if interested in learning about the artworks and furnishings.

Beyond being a residence, the house functioned as an informal meeting place and creative center for artists throughout the region. Many spontaneous artistic discussions and exchanges took place in its rooms and courtyard.
