The Lembke House is a historic house in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and one of the best examples of residential International Style architecture in the city. It was built in 1937 by Charles H. Lembke (1889–1989), a local construction company owner who was also Chairman of the City Commission during the time he occupied the house. It was one of the earlier houses in the Huning Castle neighborhood, an area of large homes that was mostly developed between the 1930s and 1950s. The house was probably constructed as a speculative venture as Lembke lived there for less than a year before selling it. The house was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1976 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.The house is two stories high with a basement and is constructed from reinforced concrete. The defining feature of the building is a rounded corner with three vertical bands of glass brick extending almost the full height of the house which is oriented toward the adjacent street corner. The interior of this feature contains an entry atrium and curving stairwell. The house also has a semi-cylindrical protrusion on the rear elevation, but is otherwise mostly rectangular in plan. The interior includes living, dining, and study space on the ground floor along with maid's quarters, and three bedrooms and two exterior balconies on the second floor. The basement contains a den, hobby room, and utilities. Metal casement windows, steel railings, and bird's eye maple flooring are used throughout. The house was designed by Townes & Funk, an architecture firm based in Amarillo, Texas.

The Albuquerque Little Theatre was founded in 1930 by a group of civic-minded citizens led by Irene Fisher, a reporter and the society editor for the New Mexico Tribune. The idea of a local theatre group was born when Fisher attended a lecture by a professional actress named Kathryn Kennedy O'Connor who moved to New Mexico for health reasons in 1927. Fisher led the campaign to raise an operating budget of $1,000 and O'Connor was hired as the theatre's director. ALT spent its first six years at the KiMo Theatre in downtown Albuquerque. The company presented its inaugural season in 1931, consisting of the three plays This Thing Called Love by Edwin J. Burke, Cradle Song by Gregorio Martínez Sierra, and Rain by John Colton. Notable performers during the first season included Mel Dinelli, later a successful writer of suspense films, and future I Love Lucy star Vivian Vance. In 1932, ALT staged The Trial of Mary Dugan as a benefit to raise money for Vance to study in New York, helping her begin a successful career on Broadway and television. In 1936, ALT moved into its present home located at 224 San Pasquale SW, just south of the historic Old Town section of Albuquerque. The original building designed by famed southwestern architect, John Gaw Meem, was the first structure in Albuquerque to be built by the Works Progress Administration as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal." O'Connor retired as the theatre's director in 1961 and the board named Bernard Thomas to succeed her as ALT's full-time director. Thomas served as ALT's full-time director from 1961 to 1980. He starred in many of the ALT's productions, including Teahouse of the August Moon and His and Hers. He was married to Reba Thomas, who hosted a daily matinée movie on a local Albuquerque television channel. He also appeared in the motion picture Roughneck. During Thomas's years as director, he brought many popular comedies, and a fair assortment of dramas as well, and he exposed Albuquerque audiences to some unusual fare as well, including the world premiere of David Madden's Cassandra Singing. Thomas retired from ALT in 1980 after the 50th anniversary season. He was replaced by his technical Director Michael Myers who served as producing director until 1986 when Sandy Brady replaced him, and Carol Fleming was named general manager in 1988. She stayed with ALT until 1996. In March 1997, Larry D. Parker was named as new executive director of the Albuquerque Little Theatre and continued producing quality theatre through the 2005-06 Season. The current executive director is Henry Avery. He took that role in spring 2008.

It was dedicated during the LULAC national convention in June, 1942. Heights and Barelas were the first two community centers in the city, and both are still in use as of 2021. The center offered various services including youth organizations and activities, adult education, and recreation. It was operated by LULAC from 1942 to 1944 and the Barelas Community Council from 1944 to 1955 before being absorbed by the city's Parks and Recreation Department in 1955. Eleanor Roosevelt visited in 1956, writing in the Albuquerque Tribune that "The influence of these centers is making a great difference in the development of young people." The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.The community center is a one-story, U-shaped building, modeled after a traditional Spanish-style hacienda with a single row of rooms arranged around a central courtyard.
