What a information packed video. I absolutely loved every minute of it. I am always looking for history on Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in the south I love the history of the people and places.
I love these homes... the one I love looking at is the one across the street from the ymca in downtown Phoenix. Boy I'd love to see that house saved!! It's a beauty!
Too bad that, with our modern technology and materials, we still end up with ugly beige/brown cookie-cutter neighborhoods in the Valley. One after another, like one huge, bland, apartment complex sprawling further with each passing decade for hundreds of square miles. It isn't just Phoenix, of course. It's the suburban cities as well. I am convinced that it really never had to be this way. With the improved technology and materials, there should have been a greater opportunity to incorporate efficient design AND charm. Unfortunately, apparently nobody seems to have cared to take up that opportunity.
@@yesterdaze114 Well, the funny thing is: I believe that there are probsbly lots of architects who dream of deslgning nice homes but who are not permitted to build anything nice by their penny-pinching employers. It is so sad. Phoenix, I do believe, may be the largest metro area that was specifically designed to lack charm.

Phoenix Arizona my life. Wish I could rewind time
Thank you all for your different parts of preserving and maintaining such wonderful historic homes!
Did they have methods of cooling for the upper floors of some of these homes? I couldn’t imagine a Phoenix summer on the second floor without a/c
I LOVED this video

Thank you! Cheers!
So few Victorians. Lots of Craftsman’s.

Perfectly said. I am nothing short of disgusted driving around every major city in the US. But Phoenix especially.

It’s a shame nothing has any artistry, or substance, or craftsmanship anymore. America’s best days are so far in the rearview, it’s not even funny.
Since when has Phx ever cared about its history?
