Marie Tartar and Steve Eilenberg stripped away years of paint and well-meaning
modifications to return this home to its former glory. Look for the upcoming article in Atomic Ranch!

It was rainy, but the event had a turnout that was triple that of the 2007 open house,
including at least 20 MoPhos that we bumped into.

"We didn't know what cost-effective was those days. I saw the (wood ceiling treatment) in at a furniture store in Phoenix (Haver's Lou Regester/Copenhagen), and I was always fascinated by them. We put them on span of 16 feet and would stand on top of this and nail between your ankles. After a day of nailing you know you've been somewhere."- Howard Madole
Kristi Woolsey and husband Jeff Ericson, both architects with Woolsey Studio,
enjoyed the endless view down into the valley with their son.
Homeowner Marie Tartar described some of the renovation challenges to Matthew King of Modern Phoenix.
"I had no idea where this was going. We had no idea of contemporary architecture, we just did it.
We did these things and we learned by doing." - Howard Madole
