Built between 1919 and 1920 in perhaps the first neighborhood of bungalows in Santa Fe, the Chicago-style bungalow on Griffin was part of the last wave of modest houses constructed before the widespread adoption of the Santa Fe style of architecture. It also was linked to two men who played important roles in shaping the evolution of Santa Fe during its formative period of the 1920s and 1930s. Patrick “Pete” M. Harkins built the house and subsequently became a well-known contractor and the largest builder of bungalows in the city. Charles E. Doll, the first owner of the house, was a prominent local businessman and president of the local chamber of commerce. He helped engineer Santa Fe’s emergence as a major tourist attraction. The Harkins-Doll House remains testament to their influence on the city’s development.
