What kind of building was Georgia O'Keeffe's home at Abiquiu, New Mexico?

Georgia O'Keeffe's home at Abiquiu, New Mexico, was an adobe house.

The property was a traditional adobe compound associated with a church and local settlement. O'Keeffe first saw it in the 1930s and was drawn to its wall, door, and surrounding landscape, which appeared repeatedly in her paintings and photographs.

She acquired the Abiquiu property in 1945 and had it restored before moving there permanently in 1949. The home became both a residence and a working environment, with architectural features serving as subjects for paintings as well as practical parts of daily life.

Adobe is a building material made from earth, often mixed with water and organic material and dried into bricks. O'Keeffe's Abiquiu house is distinct from her separate Ghost Ranch residence, which also played an important role in her New Mexico life.
