“In 1904 brothers Timothy and Michael Riordan worked with Charles Whittlesey, the architect who designed El Tovar on the south rim of Grand Canyon, to build this magnificent 13,000 sq. ft. Arts and Crafts-style dwelling for their two families. The children of Tim and Michael Riordan deeded the house, garage, original furniture, clothing, and household items, and acreage to the Arizona State Parks system in the 1970s to preserve and protect this pristine example of early Arizona history and to serve as an educational center for all ages.” (text from their official facebook - side note: I really miss working here and I recommend clicking on the photo to enlarge the image)
