Congratulations to Bobbi Magdaleno, the first reader to give us the correct location for Friday's "Where in the Valley?" photo.
The big picture: The house in the photo is at the Manistee Ranch Historic Site at 51st and Northern avenues in Glendale.
Flashback: Herbert Hamilton, a Wisconsin lumberman, built the house for his family in 1897 after moving to the Salt River Valley, per the Glendale Arizona Historical Society.
In 1907, Hamilton sold the ranch to Louis Sands, also a lumberman, who'd moved from Michigan to Flagstaff, where he became involved with the Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Company. He named the ranch for his hometown in Michigan.
The site also includes a granary, a garage, an office building, a small field filled with ranching and farming equipment, and a date orchard.
Sands died in 1941 and his wife, Frances, in 1964. The historical society acquired two acres and the buildings from the family in 1996, and the City of Glendale acquired the date orchard.
Zoom in: Historic Manistee Ranch offers tours the first and third Saturdays of each month, October through May.
