TWINKLE, TWINKLE Everything Lights is the brainchild of two Arcadia High graduates that started their business as sophomores. As the holidays approach, it’s their time to shine. 10 3 It’s hard to believe, among all the new builds and renovated dwellings, that there is a home in the Arcadia area that is almost a century old and is designated on the city, state and national historical registries. And yet, it stands tall, with its pink adobe walls and a history that was made for the movie screen. Our Fall 2022 Arcadia Home & Design edition kicks off with a story about Rancho Joaquina. The home was built in 1924 and inhabited by J.E. Thompson (his brother built the Boyce Thompson Arboretum) and his wife, Bess, along with their children. The 6,709-square-foot home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It’s one of the first five homes in Arizona from the adobe revival period of the 1920s. Pieces of the original home – like the working elevator – are still intact today. It’s home to an Arcadia family and despite the maintenance, its beauty remains.
