20 Arc A di A Home Winter 2008 “You have to give Fife all of the credit for having the vision and foresight to save this house and invest in it,” says Realtor Kathy Madison. “The respect paid to every detail is really unbelievable.” Walking through the home you can’t help but hearken back to much simpler times. Oh, if these adobe walls could talk. During her last days, Virginia Ulman, who bought the property in the 1950s, hosted “Fez Fridays.” At 8 a.m. every Friday, Virginia’s two longtime tenants, Lucky and Bill, along with Virginia’s many influential friends, many of whom were lawyers, politicians and doctors, would gather around her bed wearing outrageous hats. There, they’d sit and listen to Virginia read the morning’s news. When she was done, Virginia—always the eccentric—would dismiss her friends like staff and they’d quietly exit and go about their days. The upper level sleeping porch is now a quaint, enclosed office suite but you can close your eyes and imagine the days before air conditioning when families would seek respite from the desert heat by hanging dampened linens to capture the breeze and get a good night’s rest. The three-car garage and guest house have also been brought up to date and add to the property’s dignified yet understated brilliance.
