Visible from the street; the inside is private.

Built in 1921 in Montezuma County, Colorado, the Mesa Verde Superintendent's Residence exemplifies Pueblo Revival style architecture, a movement that drew inspiration from the region's ancestral Pueblo heritage. Designed to serve the administrative needs of Mesa Verde National Park, the residence reflects the early-twentieth-century trend of adapting indigenous architectural vocabularies for official and institutional purposes. Today the building is recognized as a contributing property to the National Register of Historic Places.
