 The Jorgine Boomer House is adjacent to the
Adelman property. Supposedly the Adelmans and Boomers met at the
Biltmore Hotel and often played bridge together and sometimes with Mamie
Eisenhower. Two stories in height with an equilateral parallelogram
footprint and built around a central chimney flue, the home was designed as
what Wright called a "mountain cottage". It is a just over 1400 square
feet, but has separate servant's and chauffeur's quarters. Built from
desert rubble and wood sheathing, the home faces north -- away from the hot
summer sun of the Arizona desert. It bears a vague resemblance to the
Walker Residence in
Carmel, CA.
