Today the home and his studio stand as landmarks symbolizing the colorful history of art in Taos. The home and studio are filled with Fechin's woodcarvings of ornately carved doors, doorways and cabinets. Taos became an artist's "mecca" and home to the Taos Society of Arts. The Fechin home is on the National Register of Historic Places and the home and studio are the home of the Taos Art Museum. The Taos Art Museum is located in front of the Fechin Inn, two blocks from the Taos Plaza.
