The owners of a Phoenix home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his son David have sent out mailers to as many View Postas 15,000 Arcadia-area households defending plans to host events, field trips and concerts at the property.
Attorney Zach Rawling’s David Wright House LLC bought the property in 2012 saving the historic home from possible demolition. Rawling wants to rehabilitate the 2,200-square-foot concrete home and obtain historic designations. He also wants to build an underground archives, bookstore, cafe and events building at the property just south of Camelback Mountain.
That has stirred opposition from some Arcadia neighbors worried about traffic, noise and Rawling’s recent purchases of two adjacent properties to the David Wright House.
