Overview

The Fechin House in Taos was the home of Russian artist Nicolai Fechin, his wife Alexandra, and daughter Eya, who bought it in 1927 and carved its doors, windows, and furniture in Russian folk style. It is now the Taos Art Museum at Fechin House, showing Taos school paintings, and it is on the National Register of Historic Places (1979).
