Sitting just inside the grounds of the Phoenician, one of our premier resorts on the border between Phoenix and Scottsdale, is The Jokake Inn welcoming guests with its decidedly southwestern appearance.
A young Hopi Indian boy gave the home its name "Jokake" which translates to "mud house".
Today the building is used every now and then by The Phoenician to host small gatherings or parties. Other than that, it stands there proudly just inside the entrance drive.

This is kinda like a church - used now and then for special occasions! :) I do like the sculptures, too! I hope you're cooling down there. It was 94 here yesterday! Gaaaaah!
A very unique building.
It is very nice, Sharon! I'd like to have been one of their guests! I like that abstract sculpture too!
Thanks for the history -- that makes the building all the more interesting.
A beautiful place Sharon! I like the two towers and the landscaping is so pretty.
Very Southwestern!
Couldn't be more different from the architecture in your post yesterday Sharon, such a shame it's not used more, a building like this would be marvelous as an artist's retreat don't you think?
I like this, a very attractive building. The Southwestern look is very unique and I have always enjoyed seeing it.
Very attractive!
I wouldn't mind staying in that lovely mud house!
It is a beauty, Sharon. A prototypical home of its place and time.
