The Robert Dietz Farmhouse is a historic house in the North Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was originally a one-story farmhouse built in 1914 by Robert Dietz, a native of Syracuse, New York, who moved to Albuquerque in 1910 like many others seeking treatment for tuberculosis. A second story was added in 1928, turning the building into a "grand home". The Dietz family lived and farmed there until the 1940s.[3] It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1983[2] and the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

The Dietz house is a two-story stuccoed frame building aligned along a north–south axis. The house design is a vernacular adaptation of Prairie School architecture, with a low, overhanging hip roof, and sash windows arranged in bands surrounded by wooden trim to "create an impression of horizontality". The house has over 100 windows in total. A stable on the property is also included in the National Register listing.[3]
