YEAR BUILT: 1930
HISTORY + CONTEXT
Designed and built by well-known Phoenix architect and contractor Robert T. Evans in 1930, the 5,250 square foot Eisendrath House is the largest remaining and best-preserved Pueblo Revival style structure in the Tempe area.
The Eisendrath House was built as the winter residence of Rose Eisendrath, widow of the wealthy Chicago glove manufacturer, Joseph N. Eisendrath. The Eisendrath House survives as an example of a seasonal residence typical of the first wave of wealthy winter visitors vacationing in the Salt River Valley. From the 1920s this phenomenon constituted a significant aspect of valley tourism and foretold of an incipient Phoenix and Chicago economic association.
After Mrs. Eisendrath's death in 1936, the house passed through several owners and continued to be used as a retreat for the wealthy. This residence represents an outstanding example of the Pueblo Revival style
