Rose Pauson House, "Shiprock", Phoenix, Arizona 1939-42

As a young man, before 32nd Street was extended and the ruins were removed, I would often go up to the site, like many kids from the neighborhood and Camelback High School nearby, just to enjoy the magnificent location and imagine what the home must've been like. I didn't know then that it was a noteworthy design by a famous architect. I miss the ruins, and think of them every time I drive the location.
