What is the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico home now preserved as a historic site?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico home preserved as a historic site is the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú.

O'Keeffe acquired the abandoned adobe house in Abiquiú in 1945 and had it renovated before moving there permanently in 1949. The property became one of her principal homes and workplaces. Its walls, courtyard, door, and surrounding landscape appear in several of her paintings.

The house is especially associated with a simple black door set in a pale adobe wall. O'Keeffe painted and photographed this architectural feature repeatedly, treating it as an abstract arrangement of shape, light, and shadow.

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum manages the property and offers limited tours. It is distinct from Ghost Ranch, another New Mexico location strongly associated with O'Keeffe. Ghost Ranch was a summer retreat and source of subjects, while the Abiquiú house was her permanent home and studio.
