Caption: Marker detail: Picketpost House construction
Additional Description: Begun in 1923, the house was designed by Colonel Thompson to blend into its surrounding:
• The southern portion of the house (at right in photo) burned down in 1953.
• A concealed elevator, no longer in service, carried people from the mansion to the bottom of Queen Creek Canyon 200 feet below.
• Yugoslavian mason "Dobey Tom" built the rock walls by hand, using locally quarried stone.
