Rose Pauson House: Phoenix
The Rose Pauson House in Phoenix was designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939 and constructed in 1942, but the owner was able to live in the masterpiece for only a year before tragedy struck.
In 1943, one of the living room’s drapes blew into an open fireplace and the building burned to the ground. The house’s lore lived on for decades, with the charred remains becoming a popular hangout for area teenagers throughout the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s.
