🕰️ A House with History

Built in 1929 by Clyde and Carrie Tingley, the estate was the first home in Silver Hill and hosted many notable visitors, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Clyde, then Albuquerque’s mayor and later New Mexico’s governor, worked closely with FDR to bring the New Deal to the state.

• FDR is said to have spent evenings here, smoking cigars with Clyde in the basement lounge
• Carrie, a champion for children’s health, founded the Carrie Tingley Hospital; her roses still bloom on the grounds
• Original fixtures, windows, and doors remain in your suite
• Even Clyde’s bulldog enjoyed a miniature house in the garden, built in the same style as the estate
• Roosevelt Park, created by Clyde to honor FDR, is just a short walk away
