American Southwest Home Office, Phoenix
THE LIBRARY: Years before this home was built, the Owners had collected several pallets of 70 year-old adobe utilized by the famed Tucson Architect 'Josias Joseler' to build 'St. Phillips in the Hills' Church. A Road expansion required partial demolition of the original courtyard wall of this desert masterpiece, which the astute church members salvaged for some special us. This Libray fireplace was veneered with the 70 year old adobe. A metal plate on the wall (upper left) holds the original Catalina Foothills lot sign and number (153). The Architectural Designer/Builder visited the site at night-fall to verify and document the protected view corridor of city lights seen at night time. A window located opposite the desk location (not seen in this photo) allows the homeowners the city light view.
