Notes
- Significance: The Kuhlman-Periman Ranch, consisting of numerous main and subsidiary structures was an important focus of ranching activity at this lower end of the Dolores River Valley. The main house, constructed in 1908, is significant architecturally as the only concrete block house within the Lower Dolores River Valley and is historically important as the home of two locally prominent families, the Kuhlmans and the Perimans.
