It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1978 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The listing included four contributing buildings and a contributing structure on 9.5 acres (3.8 ha).It has also been known as Outlook Ranch and as Hacienda del Lago. It is a Territorial hacienda, built of terrones (sod bricks) with multiple rooms surrounding a placita. The house is set back in the property and screened by trees and shrubberies. The property includes a man-made pond created around 1950, which gives the property its "Hacienda del Lago" name. It is adjacent to another historic property, the Juan de Dios Chavez House.

Montaño station
Montaño station

Montaño is a station on the New Mexico Rail Runner Express commuter rail line on Montaño Rd. between Edith Blvd. and Second St., in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The station opened on April 7, 2014, marking the end of construction of the Montaño Transit Center. The station platform and shelters were built in pueblo-revival style, and features green technology, such as LED lighting and solar panels. The platform itself can accommodate a maximum of five rail cars, correcting a problem that arose with other stations along the route concerning inadequate space for passenger cars. The parking lot offers some sheltered parking structures, as well as bicycle lockers. Bus bays have been created to accommodate current transit service to the station and allow for expansion of bus service to the Montaño Transit Center at an undisclosed future date. The transit center is designed to link residents in the north valley neighborhoods to both ABQ RIDE and the Rail Runner, and to relieve overcrowded parking lots at the Los Ranchos/Journal Center station.Starting January 11, passengers can transfer to ABQ RIDE route 157, which serves both Cottonwood and Coronado malls, and Kirtland Air Force Base. The station is also served by the NMDOT Park and Ride Purple route. Each of the stations contains an icon to express each community's identity. The icon representing this station represents is a leaf from a cottonwood tree, which is native to the Rio Grande region.
