Additional Details:
The oldest house is the last remnant of the ancient Analco Pueblo which existed about 1200 AD. Nearby excavations reveal pottery piece of the 1100-1200 AD period. De Vargas quartered one of his officers here in 1692. A large part of the oldest house is contemporary with the main part of San Miguel Mission next door. Spared during the bloody uprising of 1630, it has lived on to hold charm and enchantment for today's visitors
