the 'hood
Yesterday I spent a good deal of time wasting on the net. 217 Stanford Dr. is in a small neighboorhood called University Heights which borders the Silver Hill Neighboorhood West and Nob Hill neighboorhood to the East. I don't know if the Silver Hill Neighboorhood Assoc. covers the territory or not. University Heights Neighboorhood doesn't appear to have an association of its own. I must write the SHNA to find out. IF SHNA doesn't include the U. Heights neighboorhood (though I believe it does) I might just have to create a new neighboorhood assoc.
The Silver Hill neighboorhood is registered with the National Historic Registry, and so, some revamping of properties covered in it's territory may be tax deductible.
I discovered a tiny bit about 217's witchiest neighboor--the doubly barbwired fenced in, run down, caving in and overgrown none-the-less enticingly beautiful HAUNTED HOUSE on Cornell Dr. that backs to the same alley as 217. Namely, it's name; The Werner-Gilchrist House. It too is registered on NHR, but the only info I found besides its name and address was its registry number which I don't know how to use to find more info.
UNM must have more info in its inaccessible to outsiders library-maybe too the ABQ Museum of History does..
The Werner-Gilchrist house has an awesome greenhouse- where the witch made her concoctions no doubt. I WANT TO KNOW MORE!! AND I want the blessed favormaking Blogs to use their digital on some fab Werner-Gilchrist photos before the place is torn down. (Please?!)
I also learned that NM annually holds nominations for electing the 11 most at risk preservation properties in the state. Unfortunately October was the deadline for nominating the 2006 loser-winners, so I'll have to wait until next Oct. to nominate Werner-Gilchrist--by then, hopefully I'll have been able to research more on the Adams like family that inhabited it once upon a time and their historically significant insignificance...
www.alleygardens.com is sort of fun in the meanwhile. Their alley is easy walking distance from my witchy alley, for sure I'll be an abq alleycat...
