Thank you all for your different parts of preserving and maintaining such wonderful historic homes!
I LOVED this video
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
Awesome!

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