The James N. Gladding House, built in 1926 in Albuquerque's Spruce Park neighborhood, is a refined example of Pueblo Revival architecture from the interwar period. Designed and constructed by James N. Gladding—president of the Southwestern Construction Company and partner in the Gaastra & Gladding architecture firm—the house was initially built as a model home for the Country Club Addition subdivision that Gladding developed. The one-story, L-shaped adobe structure organizes around a walled courtyard and features a portal with corbelled wooden posts and vigas running along both sides. Gladding himself occupied the house from 1928 to 1934, and it later housed novelist Conrad Richter among other residents. A freestanding artist's studio and a two-story addition connecting it to the main house were added subsequently. Listed individually and as a contributing property in the Spruce Park Historic District on both the National Register of Historic Places and the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties, the house exemplifies the Pueblo Revival residential design that defined Albuquerque's interwar architecture.
