William Branham's home had many expensive and interesting features. The dining room featured a large, hand-painted mural of the Arizona wilderness, something most "Message" cult members could not afford. The kitchen and master bathroom had hand-painted ceramic tile. Though his stage persona threatened to physically abuse his daughters for sunbathing or wearing bathing suits,[1] Branham's daughters privately enjoyed doing so in and around their private swimming pool. A custom barbeque area complete with outdoor plumbing was used for "fellowship". Visitors entered through custom, hand-carved exterior doors. His private gun room, where he kept his many weapons, was off-limits for most visitors. A selection of his gun collection was kept in his den.

The most interesting feature was his own photographs, now used as relics for cult members. In many of the rooms in his house, William Branham hung photos of himself. His own master bedroom had multiple photographs of himself overlooking the bed where he and his wife slept.
Note: These photographs were taken before William Branham's death in 1965. The station wagon involved in the fatal accident is photographed in the driveway.
