The Milne-Bush Ranch, on Rt. 1 in or near Roswell, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The listing included two contributing buildings. It has also been known as Ave de Paso.[1]

The historic resources are a one-story adobe house and a two-story barn about 200 feet (61 m) away. The house started as a one-room adobe homestead around 1884 and was expanded over the years, through the 1920s. It includes "a fireplace and bookshelves hand-carved by artist B.J.O. Nordfeldt who was a member of the Santa Fe art colony from 1918 to 1940.[2]

The barn was built between 1923 and 1926 when the property was used as a hunting lodge. The barn is partly open to a corral.[2]

The architecture is New Mexico vernacular.[2]
