Here is a brief history of Casa Blanca:
An Arizona Treasure!
" Casa Blanca was first conceived in 1936 as a ranch hacienda by David Kellogg of Buffalo,
New York, heir to the Spencer Kellogg and Sons manufacturing fortune. Built by architect R.T. "Bob" Evans at the base of Camelback Mountain, the adobe brick home featured Mexican tiles
and carved woodwork.
" In 1944, Kellogg sold the home to George Borg, of Borg-Warner Co., who renamed the residence Casa Blanca and added the now-iconic onion dome above the living room, conferring instant landmark status within the burgeoning residential communities of Paradise Valley and Scottsdale. Borg built a number of cottages around the grounds to accommodate his many guests, along with an airstrip, riding stable, pool and extensive gardens. In 1953, Borg hired a hotel management company and converted the property into a resort.
" In 1958, the management company, in partnership with contractors, purchased the resort from Borg and divided the property into a residential community and expanded resort, which was frequented by many famous guests, including Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, Betty Grable and President Dwight Eisenhower. The domed room became an elegant restaurant known as The Sultan's Table. In 1967, the property was sold to hotelier Bernard McDonough.
" Ramada Inns purchased Casa Blanca in 1971 and conducted extensive remodeling, but in 1981, it was sold to Great Western Development, which converted the resort into a residential community, creating 37 residences with 32 different floor plans. The original domed abode was restored and converted into a private residence. The dome now serves as a focal point for the entire community. The central rose garden remains, linking the various residences with walking paths. In 1984, 38 more townhomes, a lap pool and a cactus garden were added.
