24 Donitas De La Sinafora and their escorts have a packed social calendar between selection and their formal presentation at Civic Plaza. From country picnics and barn dances to Luaus at Four Hills Country Club. This lucky bunch gets exclusive invites to homes and private clubs across the valley.
Among the familiar names on the Donitas networking circuit is Mr & Mrs. Fred Mossman who hosted a lovely Father Daughter brunch at their home, with Edward D. Gladden and their daughter Kathleen as host and hostess.

1309 Stagecoach Lane - Home of Harry Driver
Indoor-outdoor fish pond and sunken living room with cathedral ceilings. We found an article describing original owners Mr. & Mrs. Driver’s freshly built mid-century mansion room by room in explicit detail!!!
The Albuquerque Tribune December 1, 1960.
Harry Driver was one of the original residents and financial backers of Four Hills Village and Four Hills Country club in the late 50s to early 60s. His 1960 home was featured in at least two lifestyle articles with the potential of more (at the time of this article the Roth Modern archive reflects only up to 1965).
One article found highlights the interior decor of Mr. & Mrs. Driver’s residence and their French provincial and contemporary design choices. This article goes on to note other significant details about the original architecture including “weeping” bricks and shake shingle roof. The feature article describes each room individually mentioning Palo Verde rock wall, fireplace, and built-in planter, and a sunken living room with a cathedral ceiling. Petrified wood is used in the entry hall along with tropical houseplants and a walnut divider that separates it from the dining area. The real cherry on top is the indoor-outdoor fish pond that leads out to the Japanese garden!
The article about the Driver’s house was published to promote the Omega Chi Christmas Caravan tour of homes fundraiser. This is also the purpose of the second article found.

721 Stagecoach Road 1964 Realty Ad
You won’t want to miss this exciting floor plan and unusual new concept in living. Historic Albuquerque Journal realty ad from April 26, 1964, confirms a centrally located open-air patio!
Albuquerque Journal April 26, 1964
We got very excited to come across this Albuquerque Journal realty ad from April 26, 1964. It is a smaller size ad, one of the hundreds published for Village Realty throughout the 1960s. From the very beginning, 721 Stagecoach Road was a head-turner for its exciting floorplan highlighting a centrally located patio. Even though expressing harmony between indoor and outdoor living was a big architectural movement in the 1960s the ad calls this residence things like “unusual” and “new concept”.
This ad reads:
Special
Open House
Four Hills Village
721 Stagecoach Rd,SE
1:30 to 5:30 P.M.
New Concept in Living
Patio in Center of House
3 Bedrooms & Den
NEW - UNUSUAL
VILLAGE REALTY

The home appears to have been successfully preserved and still has its original entryway lamp, rock and masonry walls. We only assume that the inside holds a lot of swanky innovative architecture for its time. With a simple search on Google Maps, you can see a clearly defined open-air cut out in the center of the house. VERY COOL!
This ad worked wonders for piquing interest in 1964 as well as 2021. The deed on public record sheds light on the original owner, Frank Tegard who bought 721 Stagecoach Road the year the house was built. Frank Tegard then owned the residence until his passing at 91 years of age.
