Begun in 1883, this adobe house was completed in February, 1886 by Hiram Bradford Farmer. Professor Farmer was the first Principal and sole Instructor of the newly founded Territorial Normal School, Now Arizona Stat University. Unofficially, the building served as the first dormitory since Mrs. Farmer accepted women students as borders. In 1902 the property was sold to Mrs. James C. Goodwin.
