History of Arizona Transplant House

	Ed and Ruth Tweed, the original owners of Brusally ranch.

Little could the founders of Brusally Ranch have known that their phenomenal house would take on a new life 50 years later.

Brusally Ranch was founded shortly after the Tweed family moved to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1949. The original ranch was over 160 acres of land which included a small lake with an island in the middle which was the result of miscalculation on the part of the well drillers. It is in this oasis that the Tweeds began to raise and show Arabian horses and became one of the first and most respected families to raise Arabian horses in the United States.

And so the Tweed influence continues. Several years ago Ed and Ruth's daughter, Sally Groom, donated the Tweed home, the only structure not victim to the bulldozer, to Mayo Clinic Arizona. As the clinic expanded its transplant services a need developed for proper housing and support of transplant recipients and their families. So the Tweed house was renovated and the Arizona Transplant House was created.
