This home, which has become casually known as “White Gates”, is a stellar example of mid century modern with unlimited potential. She sits on a spectacular acre lot with incredible mountain and city views. The current owner, Lynda Maze, has several sets of plans including as-built as well as Beadle style renovations. She also holds a city permit for renovation. Lynda is in love with this residence and refers to it as the “Jewel of Phoenix.” The White Gates Residence on the Modern Phoenix Hometour 2009 Visiting this site, even in its state of disrepair, is somewhat of a pilgrimage for Al Beadle afficionados.

The White Gates Residence on the Modern Phoenix Hometour 2009 According to one article the home “stands strongly against its surroundings, presenting a bold rectangular block of vivid color and brilliant white. The symmetry of the façade with its rhythm of regularly spaced openings and pierced concrete screens establishes an ordered formality at the outset.” The White Gates Residence on the Modern Phoenix Hometour 2009 The White Gates Residence on the Modern Phoenix Hometour 2009 The White Gates Residence on the Modern Phoenix Hometour 2009 The White Gates Residence on the Modern Phoenix Hometour 2009 The White Gates Residence on the Modern Phoenix Hometour 2009 A refreshement bar was set up and histoircal documents were displayed.
