Sunnyslope Rock Garden

Grover Cleveland Thompson built this rock garden in Phoenix, AZ, in the Sunnyslope neighborhood, from 1952-1974. His front yard creation incorporates rocks, broken pottery, concrete sculptures, and fountains. Originally, there were seven fountains and seven windmills. Thompson died in 1978 and the property has been cared for by a new owner, Marion Blake, since 1979. But there is talk that she wants to move and the fate of this place does not look good.
