Navajo Nation delays move on monument

FLAGSTAFF—The Navajo Nation’s Tribal Council decided not to vote Thursday on a plan to seek full control of Canyon de Chelly National Monument at a special meeting. Tribal spokesman George Hardeen says the item was pulled from the agenda of a special session in Window Rock, so that public hearings could be held on the matter.

The tribe has been considering asking the National Park Service to hand over management of the 83,000-acre monument and the more than $1.8 million in federal funding that goes with it.

Frank Lloyd Wright home up for sale

MESA — A 2,200-square-foot Phoenix home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his son David has hit the market with an asking price of $4 million.

The house was built in 1951 and was the home of David Wright until he died in 1997. His wife Gladys continued living there until her death earlier this year, said Cionne McCarthy of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, which is marketing the home for the family.

The spiral-shaped home in the upscale Arcadia neighborhood may be one of very few preserved exactly as the famed architect designed it, said Arnold Roy of Taliesin West Architects, an expert on Frank Lloyd Wright and Taliesin West, Wright’s desert home in Scottsdale.
