Source-derived summary

The Lulu Hopping House is an historic residence in the South Broadway neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is a pyramidal cottage of brick, and typical of working-class housing in Albuquerque during the decades following establishment of the Santa Fe Railyard Shops. Built in 1901, it remains essentially unmodified and is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places.

Description

The Lulu Hopping House is on a stone foundation and is built of low-fired ("pugmill") brick with lime mortar as double-wythe cavity walls in stretcher bond. The footprint is square, forty feet on a side at the roof-line. There is a framed and screened cooking porch on the back, off the kitchen, with its own shed roof and chimney. The east side and half of the south side are an engaged porch spanning 40% of the masonry perimeter. The roof over the porch is supported by nine turned columns. The main 6/12 hip roof forms a pyramid, topped with a finial. There are three brick chimneys: one from the parlor, one from the kitchen, and the wall-mounted chimney on the cooking porch.

The account is most persuasive where Lulu, Hopping and House can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as historic house in New Mexico, United States. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

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 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q140277761. Authority coordinates are 35.076, -106.644. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1901.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
