The Robert Weems and Mary E. Tansill House is a historic house in La Huerta, a suburb of Carlsbad, New Mexico. It was built in 1898 for Robert Weems Tansill and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Motter.[2] Tansill was the son of Colonel Robert Tansill, a veteran of the Mexican–American War who had served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.[2] He founded Tansill's Punch 5 Cent Cigar in Chicago, and he became a multi-millionaire.[2] He eventually moved to Eddy County, New Mexico, where he invested heavily in the area. He died on the morning of December 29, 1902 in his home.[2] His widow sold the house to John Green Ussery in 1906, and she died in Chicago in 1939.[2] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 10, 2002.[1]
