Lee A. Steele, a carpenter and resident of Tempe since 1878, constructed this house in
1889, one year after West Tempe was subdivided. Steele's daughter occupied the house until
it was bought by Dr. R. J. Hight in 1919.
This house is one of the oldest remaining examples of frame construction in Tempe. The
building was altered in 1919 by Dr. Hight to its present condition which reflects the
Bungalow style with its front veranda and bracketed eaves. This house represents the rare
practice of completely converting a building from one style to another during the historic
period. It was moved from its original location to 508 W. 5th Street in 1992.
