Facts and practical information

The Lembke House is a historic house in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and one of the best examples of residential International Style architecture in the city. It was built in 1937 by Charles H. Lembke, a local construction company owner who was also Chairman of the City Commission during the time he occupied the house. It was one of the earlier houses in the Huning Castle neighborhood, an area of large homes that was mostly developed between the 1930s and 1950s. The house was probably constructed as a speculative venture as Lembke lived there for less than a year before selling it. The house was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1976 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. ()
