ABOUT THE EL ZAGUÁN MASTER PLAN
The Foundation’s initiative to undertake an El Zaguán master plan was timely. The mission of the organization (to preserve, protect and promote the historic properties and diverse cultural heritage of the Santa Fe area) has shifted in recent years to move away from a strategy of ownership and management of historic properties to a priority of educating the public on the importance and benefits of historic preservation through events, publications and internships, and the utilization of preservation easements to protect important properties. El Zaguán now takes on more importance as the signature asset remaining in HSFF’s portfolio of historic properties, serving as the home for the Foundation, and the primary venue for receiving the public and inspiring them about historic preservation. Furthermore, El Zaguán is arguably one of the most important historic structures in Santa Fe, with its period of significance spanning from the early Territorial period of the 1850s of merchant James L. Johnson through the ownership by James Baca and Bronson Cutting to the purchase by Margretta Dietrich in 1927, including the renovations and additions by the important designer Kate Chapman. This is a very rich history to share with the public. And for Historic Santa Fe Foundation to best accomplish its mission, the building and grounds must put best face forward.
Toward that objective, this master plan presents an overarching strategy for how the gardens and grounds and the interior spaces might best be utilized, and outlines a prioritized series of actions to serve as a roadmap for the Foundation Board’s decision-making about preserving, stabilizing and improving the condition and appearance of El Zaguán.
