Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship began to "trek" to Arizona each winter in 1933.

In 1937 Wright purchased the plot of desert land that would soon become Taliesin West.

He paid “$3.50 an acre on a southern slope of the McDowell Range overlooking Paradise Valley outside Scottsdale.”

Wright believed this to be the perfect spot for such a building, a place of residence, a place of business and a place to learn.

Wright described it like this, “Finally I learned of a site twenty-six miles from Phoenix, across the desert of the vast Paradise Valley.

On up to a great mesa in the mountains. On the mesa just below McDowell Peak we stopped, turned, and looked around.

The top of the world.”

 

Being in the desert water could scarcely be found.

This resulted in an investment of over $10,000 to dig a well deep enough to provide sufficient water for the campus.
