The Fort House has been called one of the finest Queen Anne houses in New Mexico. Fort was a prominent Las Vegas attorney in 1895 and hired John Hill to design and build this giant wedding cake of a house. Sheer exuberance is evident in the choice and juxtaposition of materials- the variety of shingles and milled lumber, stained glass, and barge boards. Complex roof gables, window patterns, and shimmering facades all combine to great effect.
