The Wigwam Lodge was an auto court built in 1945 on the Mesa Highway by Maurice Barth. Barth also built the Holbrook Wigwam Village in Holbrook, AZ. The layout was very much the same and it's not clear which he built first. The teepees were wood frame covered with stucco.

The Wigwam Lodge was also known as the "Wigwam Auto Court" and the "Tempe Tee Pees". It offered a swimming pool, shuffleboard and trailer court. The teepee cabins had kitchenettes. They were the only known two-story teepees ever built and were among the few last remaining examples of true roadside architecture in AZ. They were 35' tall and 23' in diameter.

At some point, the Lodge was converted into apartments. Then half the buildings were demolished in 1971 to make room for a fast food restaurant. In 1982, the teepees were sold to Arizona State University. The remaining three units were bulldozed in 1983.
