The Antonio Vigil House is a historic building in the Old Town neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1879 as a rental property by Santiago Baca, a wealthy landowner who moved with his family to Albuquerque from Pecos, New Mexico in 1874. The home's original occupant was Albert Grunsfeld, a German Jewish merchant for whom Albuquerque's oldest Jewish congregation, Congregation Albert, is named. The Baca family sold the house in 1900, and after two changes of ownership, it ended up in the hands of Pilar Vigil in 1904. Her son Antonio Vigil lived there from 1922 to 1961 and the Vigil family continued to own the property at least into the 1970s. At some point the building was converted to commercial use. It was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1976 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
