The Murpheys were co-developers of the Tucson Country Club Estates located off of Tanque Verde Road and Camino Principal on Tucson’s east side. This was the last major project of the Murphey-Joesler collaboration.
Other notable projects developed by the Murpheys were Hacienda del Sol, which originated as an exclusive school for girls, the Catalina Foothills School, several fraternities and sororities at the University of Arizona, St. Philips Church, St. Michael’s Church, the Mount Lemmon Lodge and the Grace Mansion, also known as Eleven Arches.
