Frank Lloyd Wright began building this desert masterpiece in 1937 as his personal winter home, studio, and architectural campus. Located on the beautiful Sonoran desert in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains in northeast Scottsdale, the site offers a broad range of guided public tours. Visitors experience firsthand Wright’s brilliant ability to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces.
Shelbi was VERY excited to go see this house. We decided to go and take a 90 minute tour and it was awesome. Here are a few pictures. We werent able to take any pictures of the inside unfortunately.

| These were all over the property. |
 |
| This was one of the rooms that they held meetings in. |
 |
| The ceiling was canvas. That drawing is one that Frank Lloyd Wright submitted to Phoenix to use as a capitol building. It was never used as a whole. Although parts of it are. |
 |
| The Front of the house and the area we werent allowed to go in. |
 |
| The pool! It was only about 2 feet deep if that. And I wanted to go swim so bad! |
 |
| One of the many artistic things they had on the property. |
 |
| One of the towers that held water. |
 |
| Another pool. And they wouldnt let me get in it! |
 |
| Bell tower! |
 |
| This beauty blew fire and was hooked to a gass line. But they only turn him on at night. |
 |
