Manzano Court Addition Historic District
Manzano Court Addition Historic District

The Manzano Court Addition Historic District is a historic district in the Downtown Neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It encompasses the entirety of the Manzano Court Addition, a small subdivision consisting of a one-block-long cul-de-sac and twelve surrounding houses, eight of which are contributing properties. The subdivision was platted in 1923 by Anna Swetland Gotshall (1892–1985), an Ohio native who came to Albuquerque for tuberculosis treatment. Gotshall also designed and built the subdivision's first eight houses between 1925 and 1928. Four additional houses were completed later. The district was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 2003 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.Manzano Court is a short cul-de-sac opening onto 11th Street with six houses on either side. It incorporates various features drawing inspiration from the City Beautiful movement, including landscaped medians and an ornamental gateway at the entrance to the court, which are unusual in the city. Of the eight contributing houses, seven are Gotshall's original houses at 1000, 1001, 1004, 1008, 1009, 1013, and 1021 Manzano Court. These houses are of differing designs and materials, but share a similar scale and modest Mission Revival details. The eighth contributing house (1025) was built in 1937 and is in the Pueblo Revival style. Three newer houses and one of Gotshall's houses that was remodeled are considered non-contributing.

Berthold Spitz House
Berthold Spitz House

The Berthold Spitz House is a historic house in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is significant as the city's best example of Prairie School architecture. It was built around 1910 by Berthold Spitz (c. 1860–1933) and his wife Fannie Schutz Spitz (1873–1943). Berthold was a German Jewish merchant who was born in Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic) and immigrated to Albuquerque around 1880. He ran a successful dry goods business and made a few forays into local politics before being appointed as the city's postmaster in 1921. Fannie grew up in El Paso and was notable as the inventor of the first commercial pine nut shelling machine. She was described by the Albuquerque Journal as "the greatest known authority on the piñon nut and its possibilities". The house was designed by Henry C. Trost of the El Paso firm of Trost & Trost. It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.The house is a two-story masonry building with a broadly overhanging hipped roof. The design is relatively simple and lacks the heavy ornamentation of some of Trost's other Prairie houses, including his own residence in El Paso. The Spitz House has stuccoed walls with dark wooden trim around the casement windows and a projecting sill course on the second floor. The front elevation is symmetrical, with a hipped entrance porch, while the rear has an asymmetrical two-story projection and less regular window patterns.
