"The President's house is an adobe residence in the Spanish Pueblo Revival style. It has vertical metal casement windows with Watson wood lintels and exposed vigas in the second-story. It has a rustic second-story balcony formed by vigas and supported by a log beam and posts. This building has had several additions since its original construction in 1930. All additions were in the Pueblo style and uphold the integrity of the original building. The building was designed by Miles Brittelle and built in 1930. John Gaw Meem designed an addition to the house in 1952. The building has a shape that resembles multiple squares and rectangles."[2]

"Statement of Significance, Criterion C: The President's House is one of six buildings on the campus of the University of New Mexico included in this nomination. The President's House is significant because it is an excellent example of residential Spanish Pueblo Revival style architecture. The architectural quality was considered so good that the building was used as a representative example of Spanish Pueblo Revival Style architecture in a major survey of American building styles. Miles Brittelle was the architect on the original building in 1930. Brittelle may have been working for Trost and Trost at the time he designed this building (Brittelle worked for Trost and Trost, no dates available, and then was in partnership with Trost and Trost from 1932 to 1934). John Gaw Meem designed an addition to the house in 1952. Although there has been various additions and renovations to the building, all additions have been true to the style and architectural integrity of the original building."[2]
