Hollywood leading man Clark Gable may or may not have owned this Tucson home β either way it's up for sale again.
The 1932 Hacienda-style house on Madelyn Circle near Grant and Swan was the subject of a Tucson OddityΒ column in 2010 about the legend of Gable living in the home:
"The story is only that, said John Riley, 79, a retired real estate agent who lived in the five-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot home with a basement at 2324 N. Madelyn Circle in the mid-1950s.
"To my knowledge, he never lived there," Riley said, adding that Gable visited to spend time with Gilbert Duncan and his wife, whose name he didn't recall, and was a childhood friend of Lombard's.
Riley said Gable continued to visit Duncan's wife after Duncan died of pneumonia in 1942.
Albert Cummings, an 82-year-old retired Realtor who used to deliver newspapers to the house and lived there from 1968 to 1997 is convinced that Gable lived there.
Both men agree Gable never owned the home."
The house is currently listed for $274,999 and is described in the MLS listing as "the perfect home."
