What was the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's long-time home in Abiquiu, New Mexico?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe's long-time home in Abiquiu was the Abiquiu Home and Studio.

O'Keeffe acquired the abandoned adobe house in Abiquiu in 1945 and spent years renovating it. She moved there permanently in 1949, after Alfred Stieglitz's death, although she continued to use Ghost Ranch as an important source of inspiration.

The property contained a studio and living spaces organized around a traditional adobe compound. A door opening onto a courtyard wall became one of O'Keeffe's recurring subjects. She repeatedly painted and photographed that architectural feature, treating it as a composition of shape, shadow, and texture.

The Abiquiu Home and Studio is distinct from the nearby Ghost Ranch landscape. The house is preserved as a historic site and is managed by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, allowing visitors to see the environment in which she worked during her later decades.
