House at 931 Prince
Open-knowledge reference entry
The House at 931 Prince, in Las Vegas, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The wood-frame house is built in the vernacular style locally employed in the 1890s, with stick work within their front-facing gables alluding to the formal Stick Style and with lathe-rounded porch posts suggestive of vernacular Queen Anne style. Houses built in the 1890s are larger than workers' houses built in the area in the 1880s, which also had front gable massing. The house at 931 Prince was, in 1985, one of "few intact examples" of its type.
A 2012 photo of the building shows that the stick work which had appeared in the 1982 photo accompanying the NRHP nomination, has been lost.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “House at 931 Prince” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60752005. Authority coordinates are 35.588, -105.216. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1985, 2012 and 1982.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
