NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION Villa Philmonte is a two and three story masonry building incorporating a variety of Mediterranean-inspired architectural styles as well as regionally-inspired stylistic elements. Facing west toward the peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northeastern New Mexico, the building is set in a lushly landscaped, park-like setting at an elevation of approximately 6,700 ft. Beyond Villa Philmonte's broad lawns and set well away from the house along the periphery of the property's driveway lie a number of program buildings serving the Philmont Scout Ranch. The variegated red tile hipped roof, the widespread use of arcades and balconies, the large window groupings, and the property's plan in which a series of ells create several courtyards and patios underscore its Mediterranean eclecticism both in design and in materials. Heavy wood portals, corbels, and two rooms decorated using Rustic and Spanish-Indian Revival Style elements also recall Waite Phillips' interest in regional building styles. Villa Philmonte underwent major restoration
