Built by John Sedler in 1912, this historic house is architecturally significant due to its exceptional size and unusual bungalow style. For a house built in the early part of the century, being two storied instead of one and having a solar energy system for hot water, truly sets it apart. Goldfish ponds, aviaries and gardens are included in the property. Today, the house doubles as a cultural art center and venue for weddings and receptions. Admission varies, so please call for further information. Limited wheelchair access.

Reviews
tripadvisorI went there to see a movie preview. The house itself is amazing and a great backyard space for events.
MoreThis 2 story home sits off of downtown in a residential neighborhood on a busy street. It has special art exhibits throughout the year with limited hours. It is unique, hip, fun and different. It is not necessarily a house for architectural lovers or for history. It's big event is typically on First Fridays when downtown Phoenix has its art night.
MoreExcellent, unique and funky, with portions eclectic and surreal, artistically macabre, occasionally sensuous, bodaciously Victorian, cool and hip, beatnik-ish and ultra-pop, gnarly and exceptional, exotic and mystifying, wickedly bizarre and melancholically entertaining – just a few thoughts that come to mind about this find. Frequent exhibitions are always worth the visit… cannot wait for my next drop-in! Well worth a visit, you’ll find it intriguing and amusing!
MoreI just recently went to Alwun house on a First Friday in the evening. I got there early, so they were setting up the stage for music. I don't know how often they change their art, but this night there were very beautiful, large paintings on the walls. Nice. The art gallery part of the house is much smaller than I'd imagined, but well worth a visit. The receptionist wasn't a happy camper but she was polite. It looked like there was going to be a crowd later, with the bar, the stage and an area under the trees for sitting and talking. Parking was extremely limited. Maybe there is another area to park, in addition, but I didn't see it. How long a person could spend here probably varies a lot. Can't really say if they offer food or not or if there are bathroom facilities available.
Morebe a part of the real downtown art scene here! THIS IS where it all happens
