The Wild Houses of Lamy

My favorite part of the trip was the diverse architecture of this tiny town. With only 64 houses in all, I've never seen such a range of styles. I drove past this house set back in the hills, several times before I realized that it was actually a house. From the main road through Lamy take a left on Cosmic Way until you wind up in some poor person's yard. I took the risk of getting shot to get close enough to take a picture. I learned that this house was commisioned by a woman who owned the Golden Eye Jewely store in Santa Fe. She had the house built out of existing white rock. She passed away recently but the house is presently occupied.
