Governor Charles Bent House, Historical residence in Taos, United States.
The Governor Charles Bent House, situated at 117 Bent Street, features adobe construction with stucco exterior and wooden structural elements.
The first United States territorial governor of New Mexico resided in this house until January 1847, when local protesters killed him during the Mexican-American War.
The building stands as a testament to Hispanic Vernacular architecture of the 1830s, incorporating traditional adobe construction methods of New Mexico.
Visitors can explore the museum exhibits, which include historical artifacts, local art, and documents related to Governor Bent's administration.
The adobe wall contains the original escape route through which Governor Bent's family fled during the 1847 uprising.
