What was the name of the New Mexico house Georgia O'Keeffe restored and lived in near Abiquiú?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe restored and lived in the Abiquiú Home and Studio near Abiquiú, New Mexico.

The house was an adobe compound in the village of Abiquiú. O'Keeffe first saw it in the 1930s and later acquired it, restoring the building with architect Juan Hamilton. The property included a famous courtyard wall and door that became subjects in her paintings.

The Abiquiú house served as both a home and a working studio. Its spare rooms, adobe surfaces, courtyard, and surrounding landscape reflected the visual qualities that O'Keeffe repeatedly explored in her art. The property is now preserved as a historic site associated with her life and work.

The house is often confused with O'Keeffe's other New Mexico residence at Ghost Ranch. Both places mattered to her, but the Abiquiú Home and Studio was the village property known for its restored adobe compound and distinctive door.
