BREIF DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY:The property consists of a lot that is approximately 18,050 sf (.41 acres), located
on the north side of Agua Fria Street, west of De Fouri Street. The house is located at the south end of the lot, along
Agua Fria Street, and a small front yard, enclosed by a low adobe wall that has been stuccoed, is located between the
front façade of the house and the sidewalk.
North of the house is a small backyard surrounded by a wooden fence. A dirt and gravel drive runs along the east edge
of the lot and to the north of the house. The house is a one-story, pitched roof, combination adobe and wood stud
house that has been faced with a stucco finish. The back of the lot holds another single story smaller house
(designated at 525 D Agua Fria Street).

Historic Preservation Division, Department of Cultural Affairs 10/24/2013
The front of the house entry is marked by a protruding front porch with arched screened front entry door. The front
porch is not very visible from the street as the landscape is overgrown with evergreen trees. The rest of the south
façade includes three sets of wood windows: central and nearest the front door is an 8/8/8 triple casement window,
next to the west are two 8/8 double casement windows. All windows are trimmed with wood and painted a dark
red/burgundy.

Construction Date, Timeline of House, and Inferred Evolution of House Graphic:
There have been several additions and renovations to this building over time. Based on historic maps and the previous Historic Building
Inventory forms (1997), it is estimated that there have been at least four additions to the original house.
- The original house was built sometime before 1908.
- It is estimated that the outhouse at the rear of the lot was constructed during the same timeframe (before 1908).
- An addition was constructed at the rear of the house (northeast side) sometime after 1908 and before 1913.
- A much larger addition was constructed at the west side of the house sometime after 1913 and before 1921. (Note: the new
southwest corner of the house is constructed of adobe.) A covered front porch was added at the southeast corner of the house.
- Another large addition was added to the back of the house, possibly an enclosed back porch with lower roof. A separate garage
was added to the west and access to a cellar on the east side of the house sometime after 1921 and before 1930. (Note: the
location of the house appears to be further east.)

- It is estimated that the double gable roof was added after 1930 and a small restroom addition was added at the top of the cellar
stair on the northeast corner of the house.
- The 2024 Santa Fe County Tax Parcel Viewer shows the property divided into three units.

527 Agua Fria House Research Synopses
Per King's and Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps:
243 Aqua Fria was built sometime before 1908. Based on the historic maps, the original portion of the
existing building is the middle portion of the front rectangular façade that faces the street today. (Refer
to building footprint graphic for more information.) The original building underwent a renovation and
addition to the east and rear of the house sometime after 1912 and before 1913. An addition was added
to the west sometime after 1913 and before 1921. A front porch was also added. Between 1921 and
1930, the footprint of the building moves to allow more space between the lot line and the main house.
(There appears to have been an error in the original location of the dwelling.) On the 1930 Sanborn
Map, the footprint of the building was changed from three simple rectangles to a blocky almost square
footprint with the addition of a garage and the outhouse was removed. The address label for the
building was changed from 243 Aqua Fria to 527 Agua Fria and the lot line had changed, reducing the lot
size from east to west. The footprint of the building remained the same on the 1948 revision to the 1930
Sanborn Map. The current footprint of the building, which adds a restroom to the northeast corner and
a connector from the main house to the garage, shows that one or more additions were constructed
onto the building after 1985 but before 1998. Based on the research materials available, it is not entirely
clear when the other additions were constructed, but it is inferred that all additions to the building and
the garage were completed prior to 1998. Refer to the 1985 and 1997 Historic Building Inventory Forms
section below.
Per the 1985 and 1997 Historic Building Inventory Forms:
The building was described in previous Historic Building Inventory forms – in 1985 and then resurveyed
in 1997. There are some inconsistencies between the 1985 form and the 1997 and the Sanborn maps
indicating the development of the house.
On the 1985 form, 527 Agua Fria (ID No. 051613581) is drawn with the main house separate from the
garage that matches the 1930 and 1948 Sanborn Maps but with a protruding front porch addition. In
addition, the surveyor of the 1997 form included a comment about the garage: "connected to the house
by arched stucco gateway."1 This gateway was not shown on either survey site plans. Based on the
former survey, it is assumed that the addition joining the garage to the main house was constructed
after 1985 but before 1998.
Both 1985 and 1997 forms note the “Mediterranean” style, but do not note that the original building
was flat roofed. The 1985 form notes that the significance of the building is "of interest," and that the
building should be eligible because it is "contributing."2 It is to be noted that this 1985 survey form was
the survey used to determine whether or not the building should be considered "contributing" in the
Santa Fe Historic District (refer to the Santa Fe Historic District Section that follows).
On the 1997 form, the building is noted as being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as
being a contributing property, and as being listed on the State Register of Cultural Properties. While it is

true that the building is contributing to the Santa Fe Historic District (See Santa Fe Historic District
section that follows), the building is not listed individually on either the State Register of Cultural
Properties or on the National Register of Historic Places. (Refer to SR-NR-Excel-Database-through-June-
2016.xlsx file provided by the NM HPD for a list of individual properties and districts included on the
State and National Registers).
On the 1985 form, the building is also noted as having had moderate remodeling and the 1997 form lists
the degree of remodeling as minor.
Santa Fe Historic District
Per the 1973 National Register of Historic Places Inventory – Nomination Form:
The Santa Fe Historic District was added to the State Register on September 29, 1972 (State Register
#260) and to the National Register on July 23, 1973 (National Register # 73001150). 527 Agua Fria is
included as a contributing property in the Santa Fe Historic District, based on the 1997 survey of the
property (mentioned above).
Ownership of the House:
On the 1912 King's Map, the building is marked as Block 60, Lot 34, and is attributed to Mrs. C. W.
Dudrow.
From the 1985 Historic Building Inventory Form, included a comment: “A. C. Koch bought this in 1912
from C.W. Dudrow Estate. He added tile Rf in 1920-25. House has grown @ rear – N.V.” 3
Between 1913 and 1927, no information regarding the ownership of the house was found.
From 1928 through 1964, A.C. Koch or a Koch family member is listed as the owner of the property (per
Santa Fe City Directories). There is also a Mrs. Dorothea K Dunakin (nurse) associated with the property
either as a tenant or owner from 1944 through 1951.
- Between 1928 and 1938, the owner is listed as Koch, A. C.
- Between 1940 and 1944, the owner is listed as Koch, A. C. Mrs.
- Between 1944 and 1947, the owner is listed as Koch, A. C. Mrs. and Dunakin D. K. Mrs. nurse
- Between 1947 and 1949, the owner is listed as Koch, Alice Mrs. and Dunakin D. K. Mrs. nurse
- Between 1949 and 1951, the owner is listed as Koch, Alice Mrs. and Dunakin Dorothea K. Mrs.
nurse
- Between 1951 and 1964, the owner is listed as Koch, Alice A. and Dunakin Dorothea K. Mrs.
nurse
- In 1964, the owner is listed as Koch, Alice C. Mrs.
It is unknown when the Koch family sold the house.
On December 19, 2024, the house was sold.4

According to the Santa Fe County Tax Parcel Viewer, Neirika LLC is the owner of the house.
Review of Architectural Features and Styles of the House and Site:
The existing house is a compilation of pieces that were added on and renovated over the course of
approximately ninety years. The various additions and renovations add different styles to the house.
Original Portion of the House: The original portion (pre-1908) may have followed many of the stylistic
patterns of a New Mexico vernacular house. Whether Spanish Colonial or Territorial Style which was
primarily in use in New Mexico during the mid to late nineteenth century, and featured flat roofs, adobe
construction, new milled lumber elements and fired brick detailing, along with the inclusion of provincial
Greek Revival Style elements, the original portion of the house is constructed of wood stud framed
walls, which have been faced with stucco. A small outhouse was added in the rear. It is unknown when
the north thickened wall and fountain were added to the house. This appears to be more
Mediterranean in style. It is also unknown when the low adobe wall that wraps the front yard was added
to the house.
Minor Addition #1: Between 1908 and 1913, a small addition was added to the northeast corner of the
house.
Major Renovation/Addition #2: A significant renovation and addition was done at the house prior to
1921. It is assumed that part of the work of this project was completed in adobe construction, as the
front southwest corner remains an 8” thick adobe constructed wall. Another part of the renovation of
the house is thought to have included a front porch at the main entry. The windows and doors are
typically wood units painted red. It appears that many of these units are the original ones installed when
the main house and addition were built. The majority of the windows and doors have divided lites,
square red wood trim, and the windows have square sills. All windows appear to be operable, inward
swinging casement windows with a few double hung on the north side of the building.
Major Addition #3: It is possible that the third addition actually included more than one addition and
interior remodeling over the course of approximately ten years including the addition of the pitched
Mediterranean style tile roof. From what we can deduce, the third addition (post-1921) included the
portion added onto the north and east side stair to a cellar, as well as the separate garage building. The
rear porch addition may have been open to air or screened. The roof was a low slope. It is unknown
whether the garage and porch had windows as it is apparent that the aluminum slider windows were
added later.
The Garage: The garage is constructed of rusticated or split face narrow and long concrete masonry
units. The roof is a flat roof and has a very low slope. It is unknown what the original material was but
now is covered with a standing seam metal roof.
Major Renovation/Addition #4: It is possible that the fourth addition and renovation included the
subdivision of the house into three separate dwelling units. The garage was connected to the main
house and the back porch was enclosed. A small restroom was added to the northeast corner to serve

another tenant. Exterior entry doors were added for three separate entries. Metal roofs replaced the
tile roofs, but simulated the look with red metal. The smaller additions have standing seam red metal
roofs, while the main house and upper roofs have simulated metal tile red roofing.
Fences and Walls: There is little to no information regarding the existing fences and walls around the
site. A low adobe wall (+/- 3' to 4' high) wraps the front yard. The low wall is not connected to the house
on either edge, and has a break in the middle through which the front doors can be accessed. It is likely
that the low adobe wall was added during either the first or the second addition to the house. On the
east side of the building, the lot line is defined by a low wooden picket fence supported by square wood
posts (approximately 4" x 4"). This fence was added sometime after the lot line was changed to its
current position in 1930. It is adorned with a growing vine. A low adobe wall turning into a wooden
coyote fence runs along much of the west edge of the site, but appears to be associated with the
neighboring building. At the north side, individual back yards for the tenants are defined by a 6’-0” tall
wooden picket fence. This fence was likely added much later on to provide privacy and security from
vehicles parking in the rear of the lot.
Santa Fe Historic Preservation Division Definitions of Noncontributing, Contributing,
and Significant Structures in a Historic District: 5
- NONCONTRIBUTING STRUCTURE: A structure, located in an Historic District, which is less than
fifty years old and/or does not exhibit sufficient historic integrity to establish and maintain the
character of the Historic District. (Ord. No. 2004-26 §6)
- CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURE: A structure, located in a Historic District, approximately 50 years
old or older that helps to establish and maintain the character of the Historic District. Although
the structure is not unique in itself, it adds to the historic associations and/or historic
architectural design qualities for which a District is significant. The structure may have had
minor alterations, however, its integrity remains. (Ord. 2004-26 § 5)
- SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURE: A structure, located in an Historic District, that is approximately 50
years old or older, and (1) embodies distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of
construction. A structure may also be designated as significant (2) for its association with events
or individuals that are important on a local, regional, national, or global level. In order for a
structure to be designated as significant, (3) it must retain a high level of historic integrity. A
structure may also be significant (4) if it is listed in or is eligible to be listed in the State Register
of Cultural Properties or the National Register of Historic Places. (Ord. No. 2004-26 §5)6

National Register Criteria for Evaluation (For Determination of Building's Eligibility):7
Per Santa Fe Historic Preservation Division definition of "Significant Structure" above, listing on either
the State or National Registers is one criteria by which a structure can be considered significant within a
historic district for the Santa Fe Historic Preservation Division. For that reason, we include the US
Department of the Interior's Criteria for Evaluation of a historic property, along with the Criteria
Considerations.
- Criteria for Evaluation: The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology,
engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that
possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association,
and:
A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
patterns of our history; or
B. That are associated with the lives of significant persons in our past; or
C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction,
or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that
represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual
distinction; or
D. That have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or
prehistory.
- Criteria Considerations: Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, graves of historical figures,
properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that have
been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic buildings, properties primarily
commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieved significance within the past 50
years shall not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties will
qualify if they are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the
following categories:
a. A religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic
distinction or historical importance; or
b. A building or structure removed from its original location but which is primarily
significant for architectural value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly
associated with a historic person or event; or
c. A birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no
appropriate site or building associated with his or her productive life; or
d. A cemetery that derives its primary importance from graves of persons of transcendent
importance, from age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic
events; or
e. A reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and
presented in a dignified manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other
building or structure with the same association has survived; or
f. A property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value
has invested it with its own exceptional significance; or

g. A property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional
importance.
Historic Architect’s Opinion:
In response to criteria for a "Significant Structure," – see numbers in gray added to definition above:
(1) The building is a conglomeration of styles representing different periods in NM history, and
therefore does not embody a particular type, period, or method of construction.
(2) Based on the research into the history of the building, including past owners, and residents of
the house, the house was owned by Charles W. Dudrow, a 19th century entrepreneur in Santa
Fe, who was engaged in the lumber, coal, ice, transfer and livery business. His legacy is
connected to several historic locations, including the Dudrow House at 548 Agua Fria Street and
an old warehouse that was later part of the Sanbusco Market, now part of the New Mexico
School for the Arts complex. The house at 527 Agua Fria was part of the Dudrow Estate, but its
significance is unknown for the Westside-Guadalupe Historic District "for its association with
events or individuals that are important on a local, regional, national, or global level." The house
was owned primarily by C. W. Dudrow for a short period of time before sold to A. C Koch in
1912.
(3) Because there were so many changes to this house over time, there is not a high level of historic
integrity to any specific historic period or type.
(4) The building is not individually listed on either the State Register of Cultural Properties or on the
National Register of Historic Places. While it is included as a contributing property in the Santa
Fe Historic District, it is our opinion, for similar reasons to those listed in items (1) through (3)
above, that the building would not be eligible for inclusion on either the State or National
Registries.
Based on our findings, and on the Santa Fe Historic Preservation Division definitions included above, we
recommend that the building continue to be designated as "Contributing."
