It is an adobe homestead house from the early 1880s, in what has been termed New Mexico vernacular architecture, with additional significance as the home of Pat Garrett, who killed Billy the Kid in 1881.

Garrett, while living here, planned "a vast irrigation scheme which, though brought to fruition by others, had a major impact on the course of settlement and agriculture in the region".[2]

It is located on Bosque Rd. about 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Roswell, in Pecos Valley.
