The Saunders-Crosby House, at 200 E. Deming in Roswell, New Mexico, was built in 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
It is unusual in its Queen Anne style because it has a two-story hexagonal cupola and a hexagonal porch and cupola. All eaves have Victorian gingerbread trim.[2][3]
It was purchased in 1907 as part of recruiting H.P. Saunders, a banker, to move from Dallas, Texas. Mrs. Ruby Saunders Crosby, a daughter who served in the Red Cross overseas during World War I, donated the house to the American National Red Cross in 1965. The Red Cross owned it in 1985.[2]
