Jorgine Boomer Residence - "The Natural House" (1954)
About the time that Jorgine Boomer opted for a smaller residence instead of rebuilding the Pauson residence, George Clark decided against building his cottage on the Carmel coast. Not to let a good design go to waste, Wright erased Clark's name and replaced it with "Desert Cottage for Jorgine Boomer." He presented the plans to Boomer, and she agreed. He rotated the home 180 degrees, facing Northeast away from the sun's heat, with sweeping views of the Piestewa (Squaw) Peak (yes, it was visible from the property at the time the home was built).
       Frank Lloyd Wright wrote, "The Usonian house, then, aims to be a natural performance, one that is integral to site; integral to environment; integral to the life of the inhabitants. A house integral with the nature of materials - wherein glass is used as glass, stone as stone, wood as wood - and all the elements of environment go into and throughout the house." The Natural House, Wright, 1954, p. 134.
         As late as 1952, Boomer was moving toward the reconstruction of the Pauson Residence. It wasn't until 1953 that the decision was made to modify and build the Clark design. Taking into consideration time for modifying the Clark plans, completing the Boomer working drawings, and the construction of the home, it was finished in time to include photographs in "The Natural House." Wright does not comment on the Boomer home, but merely adds the photographs near the end of the book, along with the floor plans, pages 208-212. The photographer is not credited (page 223).
       According to Wright, (NH), the 1,413 square foot home cost $24,000 to build in 1953-4.
       These six photographs were taken in 1954, after the completion of the home, and before the publication of "The Natural House."
       The approach to the Boomer Residence is from the east.
 
1) Jorgine Boomer Residence 1954, viewed from the Southeast.

Jorgine Boomer Residence (1963)
Jorgine Boomer Residence 1963, viewed from the East. Nine years after the home was completed, the existing foliage has grown, but still remains sparse like the original 1954 images. The upper Sitting Room curtains have been replaced. The Arizona Biltmore can be seen in the background on the right. The south end of the upper level has been greatly expanded. The walls are constructed of natural red desert stone set in concrete. First floor: The Entrance and Chauffeur's quarter are below the wide cantilevered overhanging eve on the left, the Sitting Room is to the right, and the walled Lanai on the far right. Upper floor: The Servant's Room is on the left, stairway is in the center, the Sitting Room (Bedroom) is on the right. The concrete masonry core houses the bathrooms and fireplaces on the first and second   floors, and mimics the same angle of the large dramatic roof that reaches skyward.
       After living in the home for just a few years, Boomer donated it to the Phoenix Art Museum. Unable to utilize and maintain the property, the museum sold it to Lucile Kinter (1910-2008). According to the Lucile's nephew, the present owner of the home, beginning in 1958, Boomer donated the home to the museum over a three year period (1958, 1959 and 1960). Lucile purchased the home in 1961 and lived in there until her death, when it was passed on to the family.

Jorgine Boomer Residence (Circa 1973-5)
Jorgine Boomer Residence Circa 1973-5. This set of six photographs were photographed by Yukio Futagawa. Five of the six were published in the 1976, "Global Interiors #10", p.148-51. 26 homes were photographed for this volume. That would date these photographs prior to 1976. The automobile parked in the driveway on the left (in image #1) is a 1959 Buick Electra. Looking at the landscaping, the foliage could easily be 20 years old, when comparing it to the landscaping from 1953 and 1963. Image #2 was published in "Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph 1951-1959" Volume 8, 1988. The upper sitting room curtains have been replaced again, following the original 1953 format, but the interior photographs were shot at an earlier date, when the curtains   hung from a horizontal bar. The south end of the upper level has been greatly expanded. The wall forming the bedroom on the lower level has been removed, enlarging the living room. The walls are constructed of natural red desert stone set in concrete. First floor: The Entrance and Chauffeur's quarter are below the wide cantilevered overhanging eve on the left, the Sitting Room is to the right, and the walled Lanai on the far right. Upper floor: The Servant's Room is on the left, stairway is in the center, the Sitting Room (Bedroom) is on the right. The concrete masonry core houses the bathrooms and fireplaces on the first and second floors, and mimics the same angle of the large dramatic roof that reaches skyward.

Jorgine Boomer Residence Exterior (2004)

On a trip to Scottsdale during the spring of 2004, we had the opportunity to drive past the Boomer residence and take a few photographs. After 50 years, the home appeared to be engulfed by desert foliage which was in full bloom.
       The home is dominated by the large roof that begins in the rear of the home about three to four feet off the ground, and rises to the front, overshadowing the two story home in front, then cantilevers out over the balcony and lanai.
       The home is anchored to the desert with walls that are constructed of natural red desert stone set in concrete, in the nature of Taliesin West, which Frank Lloyd Wright began in 1937. The two story home is just over 1,400 square feet. The lower

  level includes the Living Room, Kitchen and Dining area, Bath and what was designed as the Chauffeur's quarter. A bedroom wall was removed, enlarging the Living Room. The upper level includes a large Bedroom, Bath and what was designed as the Maid's Bedroom.
       After living in the home for just a few years, Boomer donated it to the Phoenix Art Museum which sold it to Lucile Clarina Medcraft Kinter. She was born on March 31, 1910 and passed away on November 16, 2008 at the age of 98. She was married to Charles V. Kinter. In 2004, she would have been 94 years old, which might explain the state of the landscape. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner, April, 2004.

Jorgine Boomer Residence Exterior (2014)

My how time flies. It had been ten years since we last visited Scottsdale. This trip had three purposes. The first was to visit our youngest son and his wife, who now lived in the Phoenix area. The second was to visit Taliesin West and personally meet and thank those that had assisted us in publishing "Frank Lloyd Wright's Nakoma Clubhouse & Sculptures." The third was a desire to study and document Frank Lloyd Wright's work. in a more in-depth way then just the cursory drive by, clicking a few quick pictures (like in 2004).
       We had that opportunity at the Boomer Residence. The nephew of the second and longest owner of the home, was very gracious and allowed us not only to closely view the exterior, but also the interior.
       As we approached the home from the east, the first thing that became apparent was the extreme measures that had been taken to reduce the desert growth which had engulfed the property and the home ten years earlier. Fifty years of growth

 

had created a dense forest.
       The most stunning view of the exterior of the home is from the Northwest (#11), which exemplifies much of Wright's designs. The home is anchored to the desert with walls that are constructed of natural red desert stone set in concrete, in the nature of Taliesin West. The concrete walls of the Sitting Room and Work Space slant inward, while the Balcony walls slant outward. Perforated light screens top the walls of the Dining and Work Space, adding a measure of privacy. The home is dominated by the large roof that begins in the rear of the home, a few feet off the ground and rises, enhancing the two story home in front, then cantilevers out over the cantilevered balcony. There are three mitered glass corners on the upper level, two on the lower. Floor to ceiling windows and doors on the first and second level enhances the natural light.

Jorgine Boomer Residence Interior (2014)
 
1) Jorgine Boomer Residence interior, April 15, 2014. Viewed from the East end of the Sitting Room. The entrance is to the left out of the photograph. The concrete masonry core on the left is constructed of natural red desert stone set in concrete and houses the bathrooms and fireplaces on the first and second floors. There originally was a wall that created a bedroom at the far end of the Sitting Room. The built in seating seen to the right occupied the removed wall between the Sitting room and Bedroom. To the left of the windows, the door leads to the Dining area and Work Space (Kitchen). This was the only access to the bedroom. Half height windows look out on the desert.
