Urton Orchards, on Rt. 3 in Roswell, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

It includes a Queen Anne-style house with a turret and a wraparound porch, and a stone milk house. The house was built by Urton in 1900, and he lived there until his death in 1929.[2]

Owners in the 1950s, a dentist and his wife, Walter and Carol McPherson, named the property "Tooth Acres".[2]
