Mabel Dodge Luhan House, Historic residence in Taos, United States.

The Mabel Dodge Luhan House is a three-story adobe building in Taos with roughly twenty rooms that combines Native American construction methods with Spanish colonial design. The structure shows how these two architectural traditions flow together throughout the rooms and details.

Mabel Dodge Luhan bought the property near Taos in 1917 after her brief marriage to painter Maurice Sterne brought her to New Mexico. The house was built between 1917 and 1922 using traditional Puebloan methods, overseen by Tony Luhan, a Native American she later married, and it incorporated two older buildings. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1991.

The house drew artists and writers who shaped Taos's creative scene and worked on their projects here. The rooms still reflect the intellectual exchange between visual art and literature that connected this circle.

The house is located slightly outside downtown Taos and is reachable on foot from the town center. Visitors should contact ahead to confirm visiting options, as the building functions as accommodation and a gathering place for workshops.

The Rainbow Room takes its name from the colors painted on the latillas, the small crossing members laid over the ceiling vigas. Look up rather than at the beams themselves: the paint sits on this secondary layer of the ceiling structure.
