John Ratenburry (Architect at Taliesin West) lives on site in the home pictured above.

 

John built this house with his beloved wife many years ago.

 

Due to extensive damage from many years of life, the building was in need of an overhaul.

 

Pictured building was taken down to its masonry walls and foundation, then restored to its original condition. Some upgrades and modern amenities were added like a/c, stove, fridge, washer, dryer, hot water heater and shower.

 

John Ratenburry is still living in this home at Taliesin West to this day and is a very happy man!
