In 1913 Cabot homesteaded 160 acres in what is now Desert Hot Springs. Pressed for water, he dug a well with pick and shovel, discovering the now famous hot mineral waters of Desert Hot Springs. Nearby, through a second well, he discovered the pure cold water of the Mission Springs Aquifer. These two wells, hot and cold, give the area its name – Miracle Hill.
Cabot began construction on his pueblo-style home in 1939 and worked on it until his death in 1965 at the age of 81. The Pueblo was abandoned after Cabot’s death.
A Desert Hot Springs businessman and acquaintance of Cabot Yerxa, Cole Eyraud (1921 -1996), purchased the property and helped restore the Pueblo to its historic state.
After Eyraud's death, his family donated the property to the city of Desert Hot Springs to continue the legacy of a historic museum and art gallery.
