This document is the National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for the Peter Hurd and Henriette Wyeth House and Studios in San Patricio, Lincoln County, New Mexico. The NHL nomination for the Peter Hurd and Henriette Wyeth House and Studio documents its national significance under NHL Criterion 2. Also known as Sentinel Ranch, the property is nationally significant in the history of the United States as the place where Hurd, a New Mexico native and prominent Regionalist painter, created an extensive artistic record of the people and landscapes of the plains near Roswell and the nearby Hondo Valley. Artist Henriette Wyeth, eldest daughter of the well-known painter N.C. Wyeth and a significant painter and portraitist in her own right, joined her husband at Sentinel Ranch full time in 1940. Hurd began construction and residence at Sentinel Ranch beginning in 1934. They resided there until their deaths in 1984 and 1997 respectively. The period of significance is 1934 to 1974, which begins when Hurd acquired the ranch's initial acreage and ends in 1974, when both artists' mature artistic work had been completed, and when Hurd ceased painting.
