Making Time Stand Still

Folks living in or wandering through Northern Arizona who want a break from the fast pace of daily life have a unique opportunity with a one-of-a-kind Bed and Breakfast in Prescott known as Foxbriar. Husband and wife owners Sandy Moss and Mike Shepard have literally made time stand still with the ambiance and antique clocks that adorn the space – none are wound or set. “This is our signal to guests to slow down, to savor life – in a setting not of this time or this place,” they say. That description is apt. Walls are not straight, floors creak, room décor is straight out of consignment, antique, second-hand shops, thrift stores and, in some cases, junk piles. In fact, they rescued an abandoned 1900 upright piano from an alley where it weathered for several weeks. They hauled it to Foxbriar and Shepard later refinished it, including the application of gild detailing on the piano’s front. Another remnant from the past is a 1914 tube-type radio, displayed near the front entrance. It still works, receiving signals from a local AM radio station. The stained-glass front door was rescued from a dumpster at a Prescott school.
