11. Brief Description of the Property:
Constructed in phases between the 1950s and 1980s, 925 Canyon Road is an owner-built vernacular dwelling that
incorporates modest midcentury design elements at the façade with a two-story portion at the rear. The house is built of
adobe and CMU walls and is fenestrated almost entirely with standard aluminum sliding windows. Midcentury features
are expressed in the blocky massing, crisp edges, and a pronounced seamed-metal fascia. The later addition of two rough,
plywood-roofed porches on the west and south elevations substantially altered the house’s appearance. The dwelling has
a footprint of approximately 1,558 square feet, containing three bedrooms and one bath. It is designated Non-
contributing to the Downtown and Eastside Historic District.

Architectural Description Continued
Setting
The house stands on the north side of Canyon Road, just east of its intersection with
East Palace Avenue, along a stretch where the land slopes from the roadway toward the
Santa Fe River. Dwellings in this segment typically address the grade with two-story rear
elevations. This section of Canyon Road is lined by tall concrete masonry unit (CMU)
walls (Photo 2). The wall in front of the subject property measures between 5’-9” and 6’-
10” in height, exceeding the conforming limit (Photos 1 & 2). Access to the house is from
the west, via a sloping gravel driveway. The remainder of the 0.203-acre lot is level and
sparsely landscaped. A 360-square-foot open shed stands at the northeast corner, while
a recently constructed CMU wall marks the boundary with the new house at 929 Canyon
Road. Two mature black locust (“Japanese locust”) trees provide shade at the south
façade.
South (Front) Elevation
The front of the house, largely concealed behind the wall, presents a plain midcentury
façade (Photo 3). The 1950s core consists of a centered entry flanked by single windows
(Photo 4). The entry retains a 15-panel wood door characteristic of the period, now
obscured by a decorative security grille. The flanking windows are aluminum sliding
units with small sash handles. The sharp-edged reveals suggest CMU construction. A flat
roof edged with a seamed metal fascia provides a modest midcentury detail. This simple
expression has been compromised by a later non-historic porch, built with exposed
plywood decking. Measuring 100 inches in depth, the shed-roofed porch is placed just
above the fenestration line, causing a visual dissonance (Photo 4).
West Elevation
The west elevation incorporates the original 1950s core but has been substantially
altered by later additions and a folk-style porch (Photo 6). The original section is
distinguished by a prominent rectangular projecting chimney, flanked by small
aluminum sliding windows. (On the other side of the chimney is a handsome sandstone
Roman brick fireplace). In the late 1960s, a block addition was constructed at the north
end, creating a two-story volume that holds a laundry room at the top level. This space

introduced a secondary entry to the façade (Photos 7 & 8). The laundry room is entered
from the south through a half-light wood door. This area is shaded by the wood porch
supported by improvised “Doric” columns set on a CMU wall. The remainder of the
elevation is defined by the laundry room addition, marked by a single aluminum sliding
window (Photo 9).
North Elevation
The north (rear) elevation illustrates the sequence of additions documented in aerial
photographs (Photo 10). Its dominant feature is a flat-roofed, two-story rectangular
volume constructed in the 1960s, designed to take advantage of the grade change at the
rear of the lot. This strategy, also seen in neighboring houses, allowed expansion
without extensive excavation, creating service or storage space below and habitable
rooms above. (Compare this with the placement of the home holding the Santa Fe
Teahouse & Bistro a few hundred feet to the west). It is fenestrated with standard
aluminum sliding windows in varied sizes. At the ground floor, a small entry door once
provided access to Ed’s Appliance Shop, the repair business operated by original
homeowner Edward Vigil from the 1960s through the 1980s (Photo 11). The 1970s
laundry room addition is visible at the northwest corner (Photo 12).
East Elevation
The east elevation, a secondary façade, descends with the slope, with most fenestration
concentrated at the upper level (Photos 3 & 13). These openings contain aluminum
sliding windows, consistent with those elsewhere on the house. At the basement level, a
smaller opening is fitted with a two-light steel casement window, a departure from the
otherwise uniform aluminum units.
Interior
The interior was not accessed during the survey, but a review of recent real estate
photographs provides a sense of its surviving midcentury finishes. For example, the
front bedroom reflects the modest residential design of the period: the space is finished
with wall-to-wall carpet and small rectangular floor registers, a simplified wood
baseboard trim, and aluminum sliding windows with minimal hardware. The ceiling is
clad in square acoustical tile, fitted with a modern light fixture (Fig. 8). Along one wall is

Historical Overview
Introduction
In the 1950s, Edward Vigil, a Maytag repairman, began building a house on an empty lot
along Canyon Road, near his family home. Born Eduardo Isidro Vigil in 1924, Edward had
his hands full with work and little money to spare. With help from his father, Jacobo
(Jake) Vigil, and other relatives, he managed to raise the foundation and walls, but could
take the project no further. He capped the structure with a temporary roof and boarded
the window openings with plywood to keep children out. According to his nephew,
Frank Vigil, the unfinished house stood in this state for five to six years.1 This explains its
presence on a 1958 aerial photograph (Fig. 5), but its absence from city directories until
the early 1960s.
The land that Edward used to build his home was originally an acequia irrigated field
owned by his great-grandfather Simon Vigil and perhaps traced further with the Vigil
family (Fig. 1). Born in 1833, Simon Vigil initially worked as carpenter, who later became
a prosperous sheep rancher and a Santa Fe Trail freighter. He served in the U.S. Army in
New Mexico, both in the infantry and calvary regiments, including the Civil War.
According to his obituary, Vigil owned extensive land on the Eastside.2 The 1897-98
White’s map shows the larger property owned by Francisco Sena. It is unclear how or
when Simon Vigil acquired the land.
Edward and Mary Vigil
Edward had grown up in the Vigil family home at 917 Canyon Road. Like many New
Mexicans of his generation, he served in World War II, enlisting in June 1942 and serving

nephew recalled assisting his uncle as a teenager, along with his brother Eddie.

as a private in the U.S. Army.3 After the war his whereabouts are uncertain, but in the
summer of 1949 he married Mary Ann Sena.4 The couple first lived in the family home,
while Edward worked as a mail handler for the post office and later as a repairman for
Mitchell’s Music & Appliance Store.5 The plot where he would build his home was still
being used, according Frank Vigil, to grown, squash, and other vegetables (Figs. 2 & 3).
In the early 1950s, Edward had gone to work at the Maytag Shop, a dealership on
Lincoln Avenue operated by the McCauley family. Maytag was then one of the most
trusted appliance brands in the country, promoting itself as “the dependability people.”
The company developed a strong network of independent dealerships, with local shops
offering both sales and factory-trained service. Edward attended Maytag’s factory
service school in Colorado, gaining specialized training in appliance repair.6 During this
period, he formed a popular dance band, the Blue Notes (sometimes billed as Eddie Vigil
and his “Blue Notes”), in which he played guitar; the group remained active into the
1960s (Fig. 4).
By the late 1950s, Edward and Mary were living in a house at 822 Canyon Road, owned
by the family.7 Deeds indicate that the property where they were building the home
passed from Edward’s grandmother, Beatriz Vigil, to his father in 1957 8, and was then
deeded to Edward and Mary in 19619—likely marking the delayed completion of their
house. They would raise three children in the completed home.

At forty, Edward established his own business, Ed’s Appliance Store, which operated
from the rear of the family home at 925 Canyon Road (Fig. 4). The large basement
served as his service area. He advertised in the New Mexican and sponsored a company
bowling team. The store was later taken over by his son, John Vigil. In 2013 Edward and
Mary deeded the property to their three children.
Mary Ann Sena Vigil died in 2015; Edward I. Vigil passed away six years later. Both are
buried at Santa Fe National Cemetery.
Evaluation of Historical Status
The house at 925 Canyon Road is recommended to remain in Non-contributing status.
Although its basic footprint dates back more than fifty years, the building does not
display the characteristics of any distinctive Santa Fe style. Instead, its original modest
midcentury form has been harmed by later alterations that are not congruent with
historic precedent. While such changes could theoretically be reversed, their presence
underscores the lack of architectural integrity or stylistic identity that would justify a
higher status. The history of the Vigil family’s long association with the neighborhood is
important. However, this house is not the most representative for telling that story, as
older and more architecturally coherent properties associated with the family survive to
better communicate their legacy.

Research Steps
Property lineage / family connection research
• Researched the Vigil family’s landholdings, beginning with Simón Vigil (b. 1833),
tracing his occupations (carpenter, sheep rancher, freighter, soldier) through obituaries
and other historical records. Conducted a reverse title search to the earliest linking
deed, including translation of a Spanish-language deed.
• Obtained and examined multiple deeds from the Santa Fe County Clerk’s office.
• Consulted the 1897–98 White’s map to identify earliest ownership through mapped
resources.
• Traced the property’s intra-family passage: from grandfather Beatriz Vigil to Edward’s
father (1957), then deeded to Edward and Mary in 1961, with a correction recorded in
1982.
• Investigated claims that Simón Vigil was born in France, reconstructing his ancestry
two generations in New Mexico.
• Attempted to establish whether Mary Sena Vigil was related to Francisco Sena,
examining possible familial connections.
Biographical and occupational history of Edward Vigil
• Verified Edward (Eduardo Isidro) Vigil’s birth year (1924) and family ties, distinguishing
him from others of the same name.
• Reconstructed his early career path, including military service and subsequent
employment at the Maytag Shop on Lincoln Avenue.
• Attempted to locate his immediate postwar residence outside Santa Fe.
• Connected his probable return to Santa Fe to the 1948–49 period through marriage
license research.
• Located documentation of his specialized training at the Maytag Company’s factory
service school in Colorado.
• Documented his career as a Maytag repairman, situating his work within the broader
cultural context of appliance repair in the 1950s–60s.
• Noted extracurricular activities, including his role in forming the Blue Notes dance
band.

Construction and physical history of the house
• Conducted an oral history interview with nephew Fred Paul Vigil, who recalled
assisting his uncle during construction in the 1950s; verified information through a
follow-up call.
• Corresponded the 1948 aerial photograph with current site conditions and the
footprint of other Vigil homes.
• Correlated oral testimony with aerial photographs, establishing that the house shell
was present by 1958 but remained unfinished for several years.
• Checked city directories, confirming the address did not appear until the early 1960s.
• Cross-referenced deed transfers, with the 1961 transaction likely coinciding with
completion of the home.
• Sought additional family photographs via the realtor to establish that no structure
stood on the site before the late 1950s.
• Analyzed apparent changes in roof forms and footprint dimensions between the 1948
and 1958 aerial photographs.
Occupancy and later use
• Documented Edward and Mary’s occupancy of a family house at 822 Canyon Road in
the late 1950s, prior to moving into 925 Canyon.
• Verified that Edward established Ed’s Appliance Store at 925 Canyon (with service area
in the basement), tracing the business through newspaper advertisements and
sponsorships (e.g., bowling team).
• Tracked succession of the business to his son John Vigil.
Later ownership and family history
• Documented the 2013 deed transferring the property from Edward and Mary to their
three children.
• Confirmed death dates of Mary Ann Sena Vigil (2015) and Edward I. Vigil (2021), and
their burial at Santa Fe National Cemetery.
