Notable in the Neighborhood

I was early for an appointment in north Phoenix one day so I took a drive around the neighborhood looking for interesting things to see.  It's an area of town I don't visit often.  On one street full of houses I came to one that stood out from all the rest.  It was surrounded by an extremely large plot of land and completely surrounded by a fancy white fence.  It almost looked like the house itself might have been there long before the other houses filled in the area.  It also looked a bit isolated behind that fence and set apart from everyone else.
