interesting place, historical building
The Jokake Inn opened as a tearoom in 1926 and expanded to accommodate overnight guests in 1928. Designed by architect Robert T. Evans, husband of Jokake's founder Sylvia Evans, it was constructed using adobe bricks.
The distinctive bell towers gave the resort a Southwestern ambiance that Sylvia and her friend Lucy Cuthbert carried out throughout the interior spaces.
Sylvia continued to operate the resort after her divorce from Evans in the 1940s until the property was sold to Charles Alberding of Alonsett Hotels in 1952. It closed as a resort in the late 1970s and is now part of the grounds of The Phoenician resort.
