Bart Prince, Architect
This house on Monte Vista Bv. NE is among the weirdest homes in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The main house was built as Mr. Prince's private residence in 1984. Mr. Prince has designed several homes and home additions throughout New Mexico and several other places in the U.S. In 1990 a library tower was added (not shown here) and in the 2000s a detached studio (also not shown) was built just north of this house.
When I was a draftsman working for a structural engineering firm a long time ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to see the inside of this home while accompanying my boss to see Mr. Prince for a business-related matter. During the visit, Mr. Prince told us that one evening, a limousine pulled up in front, and one occupant stepped out and went to the door. Mr. Prince answered the bell, opened the door, and standing in front of him was William Shatner (of Star Trek fame) who promptly said, "Beam me up, Scotty!" Mr. Prince proceeded to invite Mr. Shatner inside for a tour.
Thank you all so very much for your visits, comments, and faves. I appreciate each and every one of you! Gracias. Merci. Danke. Obrigado. Grazie. Go raibh maith agat. Tapadh leat. Gratias tibi.
