Frank Springer House
924 6th Street; Built 1891-93

This is one of Las Vegas' grand residences, now known as the Carriage House Bed and Breakfast. One of Territorial New Mexico's leading citizens, attorney and Supreme Court Justice, Frank Springer, built this towering mansion. It features common elements of the "Free Classic" phase of the Queen Anne style, such as lumberyard classic columns and balustrade, although the addition of aluminum siding somewhat alters its historic appearance. This is the Springer family who founded Springer, New Mexico, a town sixty miles northeast of Las Vegas.
