The home of two generations of a prominent merchant family, the Salmon-Greer House sits on the corner of Don Gaspar and Paseo de Peralta Streets in the heart of the state capitol complex. It is a fine residential example of the California Mission Revival Style, popularized in the 1890s and employed notably in commercial structures such as Santa Fe’s Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Depot. Nathan Salmon, owner of a general merchandise and real estate business, settled in Santa Fe in the 1890s and built his family’s substantial home in 1907. By 1934, Salmon served as president of Salmon and Greer, a theatrical and real estate management business. Salmon’s daughter and her husband E. John Greer continued to live in the house after Nathan Salmon’s death in 1941. The property is now used for professional offices.
