Juan Chavez House

The Juan Chavez House is a historic two-story adobe house in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1914-1917 by Juan Chavez, a native of San Acacia, New Mexico who lived here with his wife Candelabria and their sons.[2] Chavez worked for a liquor wholesaler.[2] During prohibition, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, he stored bootlegged alcohol in the upstairs bedroom.[2] In 1948, the house was purchased by Louis Gross Sr., who sold his own wine, made in Bernalillo, New Mexico.[2] The house was later inherited by his son.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 9, 1984.[1] The house was remodelled as a hair salon by Frank Vallejos in 1989.[3]
