The Romero family consisted of Victor and Refugio Romero and their six children (Shaw 1984). Victor filed homestead entry papers in 1916. In these papers he stated that his house was built in June of 1913 and that it had one room and two windows. He further stated that he had a corral and that the claim was fenced on three sides. The Romero family was typically absent from the land during December, January, February, and March of each year. In those winter months the family lived down in the valley in San Ildefonso, New Mexico. There were only 13 cultivable acres on the Romero 15 acre claim with mostly corn and beans being produced (U.S. Department of the Interior 1916). The cabin was rebuilt in 1934. A major transformation in the form of the cabin was the change from a v-pitch to a shed style of roof . In 1984-1985, under the supervision of Anthony Crosby, an architectural preservationist, the Romero Cabin was transferred and reconstructed at a site near Fuller Lodge in downtown Los Alamos, New Mexico. Some of the original wooden beams from the cabin were too rotten to use and were replaced with seasoned logs. Pieces of the corrugated roofing material and planks from the cabin's floor were also replaced. The cabin's stone foundations were moved to the new site which has been landscaped with some of the originally associated vegetation.
