Directions OpenStreetMap

The Baca-Goodman House near Tucumcari, NM, was a family home built around 1905 by Benito Baca, a Tucumcari merchant. Herman Goodman, a later owner, enlarged it in the 1920s. The National Register took it on in 1973 as a sample of how New Mexico homes were built in the early 1900s, then dropped it four years later. Records describe it in the past tense, so there may be little to see.

What is Baca-Goodman House?

A single-family house from Tucumcari's early years, remembered mainly for its two owners and its short time on the National Register. The record does not say why it lost that listing.

Visiting Baca-Goodman House: tips

Treat this as a footnote for history fans rather than a planned stop. If the house still stands, view it only from the street and respect private property. The Arch Hurley Conservancy District Office Building is about 0.1 miles away, the Odeon Theatre about 0.2 miles and the Blue Swallow Motel about 0.7 miles.
