About our home:
This Mid Century home was built in 1968 by a builder named Allen Stamm, who built about 800 homes in our little neighborhood area of Casa Alegre. These quaint homes were built for the working class of Santa Fe back in the day.
Stamm’s classic pueblo structures are still today synonymous with solid well built homes and are considered icons of the Santa Fe style in the Santa Fe home market. Say you own a Stamm home and you receive nods of approval from the locals. Mr. Stamm added variety and beauty to his functional homes, and included features such as vigas, corbels, kiva fireplaces and portals.
We have used vintage decor true to the time era of Mid Century Spanish Revival, which we feel also reflects the beauty of the Santa Fe Style. We have blended in some modern and eclectic pieces to add to the unique look. Enjoy!

About Allen Stamm our builder:
No other Santa Fe builder in the modern era contributed as much as Allen Stamm did to the bedrock concept of "home." A visionary as well as a man of immense integrity, character, compassion and humanity, he built thousands of high-quality—but not high-cost—houses all across the face of this community. He worked always to make them livable, durable, handsome, architecturally sensitive, friendly and, perhaps most important, affordable for ordinary Santa Fe folks with average incomes. As a Depression-era graduate of the University of New Mexico, Stamm understood that hard-working but poor people needed decent homes in which to live and raise their families. As early as 1939 he was building "affordable housing" here—long before the term was coined. Despite the modest $10,000 to $20,000 prices, his homes featured hardwood floors, vigas, kiva fireplaces, nichos and other traditional touches, plus superlative workmanship. He hired women consultants to design the kitchens. He made places for Christmas trees and highchairs, and built garages that were easily converted into bedrooms for growing families. He instituted year-round work for his employees as well as an insurance plan, partnerships for his top executives, and a one-year unconditional guarantee on his houses—all unheard-of concepts before he came. He elevated the building industry’s standards, here and throughout the state. For a residence in Santa Fe, there is no higher tribute than to say it is a "Stamm House"—and like the homes he built, his legacy will stand the test of time.
