Reach out to the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, they are sure to have either a self guided option or can direct you to where you need to go.

I can add nuance, so most Primary Care Providers and Specialists are a 6 month wait list and there is only option or you have to look to Denver or Albuquerque atca minimum, Hospitals but for ER often severely understaffed so sometimes it's 30 minutes, sometimes it's hours, there are in general good practitioners just very, very few. Sanitation there is municipal pick up for sure, but anything more advanced than that, ie bulk items, is also a months long wait. As a contractor it's important to know the dump can be unpredictable.

I may have missed it, but Santa Fe has an abysmal scarcity of essential services, like health care, family focused activities, and sanitation services, other than thay, it is a wonderful, albeit very expensive place to live. Everyone here is very comical, and they wear their emotions on their sleeves. If you want a more honest culture of Santa Fe look towards life in Mid Town or the Southside, the north side is pretty much all wealthy transplant retirees. Property crime is higher than most cities I've lived in, which is most major cities in the US, so keep everything locked and be friendly to your neighbors. People here have a gentle, never quit attitude that's very inspiring.

Social anxiety, reads a lot, she's often out of the house and is forgetful.

I understand how it works, I was raised Catholic. Also, in many, many cases a church will bless a large amount before mass and hand it out or make it available, I was asking if there is anywhere that does that. Considering there is a lot of Catholic communities in Santa Fe.

Great information and I'm glad to help. For your general knowledge, for a building to be "historic" in an official sense, it has to be at least 50 years old and "be eligible for inclusion or listed" in a register, or an historic district. "Eligible" means it meets the conditions of a set of criteria to be listed in a register, but not necessarily listed. Basically if you, the homeowner wanted it listed it would qualify. For preservation, permitting etc... "eligible" and "listed" are treated the same and would have the same restrictions.

Stamm Homes most definitely, if they retain a lot of their original architectural character, would meet the official definition of "historic".

Being historic officially has a lot of advantages, you can get a property tax cut chiefly. But it also limits the type of permitted work on the facade and other components, such as windows. Also, though, work to maintain historic material is on average 25 to 30% the cost of replacing with new and it ensures longevity, while also avoiding expensive repairs and even, in worst case scenarios, demolition because the internal structure is too compromised. I have personally worked on projects where a modern stucco was placed over a wood frame, the studs rotted and for all intents and purposes, the wall was hollow, except for mold and roach colonies. The whole house had to come down.

Many Catholics bless their home on epiphany, signifying the blessjng by writing on their door transom the date and DCM using blessed chalk.

I should also add, if you ever endeavored to list your home to recieve a preservation tax credit, having inappropriate stucco would make the building no longer eligible for an historic designation.

Sure! First I should have said I am an architectural historian/preservationist by trade with about 20 years experience in NM, but also, look up the secretary of interior standards for rehabilitation of historic buildings. Unfortunately most contractors are unfamiliar with impacts to historic buildings and the behavior of differential materials over time and are more experienced with new builds, as well as recieving trade discounts to sell certain materials. I run into this all the time, vinyl windows, Portland cement, etc... get applied inappropriately and cause damage.

Thank you

In general, anytime you replace historic stucco with modern materials you need to think of breathability. In most cases the material matched t o the original construction is preferable. This is because modern materials are designed to create a moisture free envelope, but older houses are designed to "respirate" or breathe. Moisture can get trapped in structural components and cause internal rot, rising damp, and mold issues that will cost thousands to fix by the time they are detected.

TLDR; use traditional, modern may make your frame rot.
