Armijo's great-granddaughter Soledad C. Chacón, the future New Mexico Secretary of State, was a resident there in the early 1900s.

[3][4] In 1977, Armijo's great-great-granddaughter Frances Wilson sold the house[5] and it was turned into a restaurant, named Maria Theresa after the well-known silver coin.

As originally constructed, the house consisted of 12 rooms arranged around a central courtyard, occupying a footprint of 100 by 70 feet (30 by 21 m).

The 1875 remodeling enclosed the zaguanes to form hallways and added new portales (porticoes) and windows with Territorial style wooden trim.

New portales, pitched roofs with ornamented pediments, and a cast stone veneer (now removed) were also added to the exterior.
