Provenance: The Property was once a homestead ranch owned by the Chavez family. In the early 1940's, the family divided the ranch into several parcels. The current Lot was sold, in 1951, to Mary Jane Colter, the famous architect, who designed many of the buildings at the Grand Canyon, La Posada Hotel in Winslow, and La Fonda in Santa Fe as well as a number of other Fred Harvey Railroad Properties. Ms. Colter sold the property to Bruce Babbitt, AZ's governor and Head of the Department of the Interior under President Bill Clinton. The Babbitt's owned the home for 16 years.
