1957 photos: Burnt adobe accents this home
The U-shaped Best home surrounds the patio which may be reached from the living room, the dining room which is shown here, or the study loggia. Also done in burnt adobe, the patio offers a view of the desert and mountains. The dining room table, which the Bests found in New Orleans, is of walnut with a parquet top. Cylindrical lights create a vertical effect in the long hallway running through the center of the house.
