Also somewhere in my photo cds I have pics of two old stone houses in
the Tucson Mountains one off of Ajo and one that is part of the Trails
West III Tucson Mountain Trail - are these part of what we are looking
at as well - if so I'll post them.

The house in the Trails West area had a signature in the concrete from
I think 1926 (I would have to look at the pic again - but the name was
Karn - I tried to look at the death records for Tucson but the person
died in a nursing home so I couldn't tell if it was the same folks)

There is an interesting house near Westover between Drexel and
Valencia a man took his wife to New Orleans for their honeymoom and he
was sorry he did (as he told me jokingly) since his wife made him
built a New Orleans style house (he said he did the best he could
using what they had and his memory) it is the only two story in the
neighborhood and a bright white color- also nearby that one (there was
no zoning in this area for a long while) on Milton near Gunsight
across from Warren Elem is a Hogan house for a long time the guy who
built it lived in it but it had a for sale sign a few years ago and
now the yard looks different so I assume someone new is in it.

Subject: [vanishingtucson] stone houses in the Tucson Mountains...

Hello Ann,

I've spent many mornings in the Tucson Mountains hiking and biking to
ruins of old stone houses. I'd love to see your photos if you can
find them. I'd also like to try to determine exactly where they are/were.

I always liked that old stone house under the Tamarisks and billboards
on the west side of I-10 at El Camino Del Cerro (Wetmore exit). Wish I
had snapped just one shot before they tore it down.

Thanks,

Carlos
