It is Territorial Revival in style. A zaguan is a compound with a street doorway entrance usually leading back to a courtyard, which is surrounded by one-deep rooms.

This has also been known as the James L. Johnson House, and is a former residence of Margretta Stewart Dietrich, and later housed the Historic Santa Fe Foundation.[2]

It was purchased in 1928 by Dietrich. Changes were made under direction of Santa Fe designer Kate Chapman.[2]
