The center of Taos Plaza moved three times in the past, and Ledoux Street was the second Taos center square. It is a very charming street that boasts high quality Museums, galleries and shops, and true Taos ambiance. The quaint and beautiful street is named after Paul Ledoux, one of the first French trappers to settle in Taos in the 1800’s.

In 1996 Inger Jirby purchased the property on Ledoux Street and immediately started the restorations. Inger had her contractor pull out old faux ceilings, and they exposed all of the original vigas (beams). They also put skylights through the whole building. The front patio was cleaned out and made into an inviting sitting area, and in the back yard Inger created a magical sculpture garden. The two solariums (solar rooms) were designed by Inger, and were added onto the building in 1996.

Inger Has records of her compound that date back to 1860. It was a cluster of small buildings that were originally part of a small village. The Spaniards and Tiwa Indians co-inhabited the street, and helped each other tend the gardens.

Inger Jirby’s Guest Houses, Gallery and Sculpture Garden are open year round and features the artwork of world-renown artists Inger Jirby and Fredrick Prescott. Also featured are Priscilla Hoback, and Brian Two Hawks. Come and take a stroll down Historic Ledoux Street and into the world of color that Inger Jirby has created. You will be happy you came.
