History edit
It is significant as the home of J.S. "Whistling Jack" Detwiler and his family. Detwiler was a well-known railroad engineer on the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway.[2] It was later home of the parents of Ernest Love (1895–1918), a local World War I hero,[2] namesake of Ernest A. Love Field.[3]
It is a wood-frame structure about 30 by 45 feet (9.1 m × 13.7 m) in plan.[2]
