The Samuel Shalit House is a historic house in the North Valley area of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The house is a well executed example of the English Cottage style, which is not commonly found in New Mexico, and has distinctive features such as patterned brick, a faux thatched roof, and notably tall chimneys. [1] It was built in 1936 by Samuel Shalit (1893–1962), a Russian Jewish immigrant [2] who accumulated substantial real estate holdings in the North Valley. The property was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1983 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [3] In the mid-1980s, the house was converted from a private residence into a restaurant, Mr. Powdrell's Barbeque House, preserving much of the interior. [4] Powdrell's is still operating as of 2023.

The interior features original hardwood floors, decorative tile work, arched cabinet doors, and a brass ceiling fixture. The house is one story high and constructed from uniquely patterned red brick. The roofline is complex, consisting of a hip roof with two clipped gables, a diagonal Dutch gable, and a half-hipped dormer. The edges of the roof are rounded off to emulate thatching. The building also features boxed soffits, casement windows, some with semicircular fanlights, and a wrap-around porch with wrought-iron balustrades. [1]
