Description

The Boone House

“No one who does not live in an adobe house can imagine the bond that exists between house and resident. Walking into an adobe is like walking into welcoming arms.”
—Agnesa Reeve, The Small Adobe House

For a taste of this powerful sensation, visit historic 1720 West Elm Street, an exposed adobe brick house designed in 1940 for a couple with strong feelings about home, tradition, and the earth: Daniel and Clara Boone. Named for his famous pioneering ancestor, Daniel was Assistant General Manager of the Salt River Power District.

The Boone house floor plan—1592 square feet arranged as a 3-bedroom, 2-bath vintage Ranch home—remains untouched, as evidenced by architect R. M. Eskil’s original blueprints.

The detached, 2-car garage is connected by an 8-foot wall that elongates the facade, adding to the grand curb appeal as well as the privacy of the beautiful flagstone courtyard behind it. A wrought-iron gate provides a hint of Spanish Revival influence as well as easy access between the driveway and the courtyard leading to the house.

In contrast to the organic exterior, the interior walls are a pleasing combination of plaster, knotty pine, and exposed adobe bricks preserved with a glossy seal. Steel casement windows with concrete sills contribute to the stability of the structure, as do the concrete foundation and expertly placed wood lintels above door and window openings.

The home is on the Phoenix Historic Register and qualifies for $10,000 in restoration incentives.
