You probably drive by it all the time, that little brick house at the corner of Kentucky and 12th Street. You may not know that WNMU owns it. It is a “twin” to the privately-owned house next door, which is listed on the State Register of Cultural Properties and is certified as a Town of Silver City Landmark Structure. They are both equally valuable as historic resources and should be preserved as a set.
WNMU purchased the corner house at 901 West 12th Street in 2016 and did little to maintain it. It has been used for storage of supplies, scarring the oak floors. A slow water leak in one bathroom went unattended. Feral cats moved in. WNMU’s Albuquerque-based architect said it would cost over $1 million to rehabilitate it. Too much. In January, it was slated for demolition.
And then community members got involved. The decision to demolish it was put on hold.

Silver City, NM—The New Mexico State Police (NMSP) today announced former Lieutenant David Neil's arrest following a thorough investigation into allegations of timecard and overtime fraud. The arrest marks a significant step in the department's commitment to maintaining transparency, integrity, and accountability within its ranks.
The investigation began last year after internal audits revealed discrepancies in Neil's timecard submissions and overtime claims. The discrepancies prompted NMSP to launch a comprehensive inquiry to determine the extent of the alleged fraud. Working closely with the Sixth Judicial District Attorney's Office, investigators found substantial evidence indicating that Neil had falsified time records and claimed overtime for hours he did not work.
