Chandler citrus grove owners at Chandler Heights organized a non-profit corporation called Chandler Heights Service in 1937. The object of the organization was to obtain efficient grove service at the least possible cost. Well-known Arizona representatives of business and professional life participated in this group, and they held an interest in growing oranges and grapefruits right at the lodge.

The Chandler Heights Citrus Lodge was a collection of varied, colorful summer houses with a decidedly Egyptian pattern, designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. There were a dozen structures, including a residence for the tract manager, W. R. Klink: half a dozen sleeping quarters for guests, two office buildings, a large recreation hall, a dining hall, and a culinary building. The citrus grove had close to a million seedlings, or “sour stock.”
