In the heart of downtown Silver City, the apartments at 103 N. Pinos Altos were built in 1905. Originally a boarding house, it was built with doors leading to the outside from every room. It was later converted into three apartments, two in front and the third, in the rear. Many changes have taken place over the years. The floors, which were bare dirt, have been upgraded to wood, tile and carpet.

The current resident, who resides in the rear two bedroom apartment “103 A”, enjoys the renovation which was completed by the owner around 1999. A new scalloped ceiling was incorporated in the living area. Though not traditional in style it lends much interest and charm to the room.

The bedrooms have the original tin ceilings,which are more commonly seen in this area. The welcoming closed-in entry also adds utilitarian space, and a small garden in the back is the perfect oasis for relaxing. Decorated with many original artworks and an impeccable, classic touch to every room, this lovely apartment truly is a little gem with great personality to be enjoyed.
