The original ranch structures complete with barn and horse corral were designed and built in the 1920s by architect R.T. Bob Evans for artist Donald Kellogg of Illinois. Donald passed away shortly after construction and the ranch eventually was sold to the Charles W. Borg family of Illinois. George Borg, inventor of the automatic transmission, used the site as a winter retreat for his family and employees. Borg had an extra wing constructed onto the home in the shape of a Morocan-style dome.
Folklore has it that George was such a boisterous drinker that he was thrown out of all the bars in nearby Scottsdale. So he built his own bar with an onion-domed roof, which latr became a restaurant at the Casa Blanca Inn. The dome would also serve as a landmark for Mrs. Borg who was an avid pilot. In the 1940s, Borg had a 2, 600' dirt airstrip constructed that stretched diagonally across the property from the corner of what is now Chaparral Road and 68th Street to the corner of Casa Blanca Drive and Jackrabbit Road. The Borg's sold the property in the 50s to a group of investors, headed by R. Treadway, whose intent was to establish a first class desert resort. This was the beginning of the Casa Blanca Inn, a five star property that operated continuously for the next 30 years, boasting Charm, Diversity of Amusement and Perfection of Appointments . The onion-domed bar became The Sultan's Table restaurant and cocktail lounge where regardless of expense, every necessary device and appliance was installed to enable the chefs to achieve the highest standards of the culinary arts. In the 1950s, when the resort was opened to the general public, the guest list mainly included the Hollywood elite coming to Arizona. This included the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and then President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The airstrip was used by guests staying at the Inn that wanted to land their personal aircraft in order to avoid the general public at Sky Harbor Airport. Own or your own piece of Arizona History!
