You've probably driven by it and wondered, 'what the hell is that??'
It's the Mystery Castle of Phoenix and Boyce Gulley began building it in 1930. The curiously constructed house is a point of fascination for many Phoenix residents. And lucky for all of us, Mystery Castle tours are still offered. One of the most interesting features of Mystery Castle is that Gulley used salvaged materials, auto parts, junk, and other artifacts he found in the Southwest and in Mexico in the building of his home.
You can even see petroglyphs built right into the wall during your tour. Pretty cool. Gully's daughter still lives here, but she no longer allows weddings to be held at her home. Tours however, are still given and if you haven't been, it's a unique way to spend the afternoon.
