What was the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico house that she acquired in 1945?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe acquired her Abiquiu house in 1945.

The Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio is in the village of Abiquiu, New Mexico. O'Keeffe first saw the property in the 1930s and was drawn to its adobe walls, courtyard, and distinctive door. She acquired the house in 1945 and had it restored before moving into it.

The home became both a residence and a working environment. Its architectural details, including the famous black door, appear repeatedly in O'Keeffe's paintings. She transformed the building into a carefully ordered space suited to her work and daily routines.

The Abiquiu house is distinct from Ghost Ranch, where O'Keeffe also lived and painted. The National Trust for Historic Preservation later recognized the home, and it is now managed as a historic site connected with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.
