La Casa del High Jinks, Pueblo Revival residence in Oracle, Pinal County, US.

La Casa del High Jinks is a two-story Pueblo Revival house built of granite and wood collected on the ranch site, with massive stone walls, projecting wooden vigas, a flat roof and wooden lintels. It measures about 51 by 31 feet and stands 30 feet high on a granite and concrete foundation. Lewis Claude Way completed it around 1928 with his wife Marie and Mexican laborers.

Buffalo Bill Cody established the High Jinks Ranch in 1912 as a gold mining operation, but after his death, Lewis Claude Way purchased the property and constructed the house in 1928. The building emerged during an era when this forest area was shaped by mining activities.

The building displays traditional Pueblo design elements including massive stone walls, flat roofs, and projecting wooden vigas that shape its appearance. This construction style reflects local architectural traditions adapted to the forest setting.

The house functions as a rest stop for hikers using the Arizona Trail, but accessibility depends on road conditions that change seasonally. It is helpful to check current conditions and visitation guidelines before planning a visit.

The 1895 Bain 9-A buckboard displayed at the ranch appeared in the 1987 television film Poker Alice, where Elizabeth Taylor and Tom Skerritt used it. The wagon is a surviving prop from that western romance, kept on the property.
