Desert builder Cabot Yerxa Pueblo in California Desert
In the California desert near Desert Hot Springs the Cabot Yerxa Pueblo, built by Cabot Yerxa who started at age 60 and worked until his death in 1965 at 83, stands as a functional, energy driven home. The piece compares Yerxa to Sarah Winchester and notes his life from Minnesota roots to Alaska gold rush, his military service, and his late style of adobe and cement construction using salvaged materials. It highlights the museum at Yerxa’s site and his lasting impact as a desert pioneer and cultural landmark.
