Info

The Bulletin is the HSFF's primary publication with the main article providing the results of research on a property placed on the Foundation's "Registry of Buildings Worthy of Preservation." Architectural elevations and plans are reproduced, along with photographs, both old and new, and observations that might add to the general knowledge. Other articles discuss various neighborhood associations, recognize special volunteers or projects, furnish information on HSFF awards, and acknowledge educational projects as well as special community activities. We welcome suggestions and comments from our readers and hope this publication provides the research and human interest that will make reading it a worthwhile and pleasurable endeavor.

THE "ROQUE TUDESQUI" 135 East De Vargas Street HOUSE Corinne P Sze, Ph.D. In 1998 the second in a series of comprehensive histories of the properties owned by the Foundation was completed. Thefollowing is a summary of the findings of that research. The complete, annotated story of the building and its owners is to be the next in a series of monographs published by the Foundation to document each of the HSFF-owned properties. The most startling result ofthis research was the realization that, although this property has had many interesting owners, definitive evidence was not found that Roque Tudesqui was one of them. The building owned by the Foundation shares a common wall with another residence on the west. The two structures have together been called the Roque Tudesqui House since the mid 1960s, when documentation was prepared for their listing by the Historic Santa Fe Foundation and by the State Register of Cultural Properties. I It was believed then that both properties were included in a tract Roque Tudesqui sold in 1841, and that they remained together until divided in 1895. However, an analysis of recorded property transfers indicates that the two, if ever joined, were split before 1850. Fragmentary earlier evidence is inconclusive and neither confirms nor rules out Tudesqui's ownership of both at some earlier time. To add further confusion, the two properties were partially mingled in 1874 when a section at the southwest comer of the HSFF property containing two rooms (apparently no longer extant) was sold to the owners ofthe property on the west. Twenty years later, William Jones briefly united both "Tudesqui" tracts, buying them separately in April and October 1894. He sold the west property the following February to the Cartwright family and kept the HSFF portion as his home until his death just five years later. 1
