Исчезающий Феникс [ править ]

Дом Клинтона Кэмпбелла

По словам Роберта А. Меликяна, автора книги «Исчезающий Феникс», служба охраны Феникса не имеет права отказать в разрешении на снос. Следовательно, владелец собственности, внесенной в Национальный реестр исторических мест или Реестр исторической собственности Феникса, может снести историческую собственность, если он или она того пожелает. [8] Целые кварталы, такие как Золотые ворота, где проживали представители меньшинств, были разрушены. Обе резиденции бывшего территориального губернатора Джозефа Кибби, расположенные по адресу 1334 E. Jefferson St., служили домом и медицинской практикой доктора Уинстона К. Хакетта., первый афроамериканский врач в Аризоне и здание, расположенное по адресу 1342 E. Jefferson St., где Хакетт основал мемориальную больницу Букера Т. Вашингтона, были снесены. [9] [10] Исторический отель St. James является примером здания, внесенного в Национальный реестр исторических мест, которое будет снесено, несмотря на протесты групп сохранения, чтобы освободить место для VIP-стоянки для Phoenix Suns владельцы абонементов. Среди снесенных объектов собственности, внесенных в Национальный реестр исторических мест, следующие: [11]

  • Аризонская ассоциация производителей цитрусовых, склад-601 E. Jackson St.
  • Дом из бетонных блоков-618-620 Н. 4-й пр.
  • Higuera Grocery-923 S. 2-й пр.

  • Overland Arizona Co.-12 N. 4th Ave.
  • Судья WH Stillwell House-2039 W. Monroe St.
  • Clinton Campbell House - 361 N. 4th Ave.

Некоторые из исторических домов и зданий, которые перечислены в Национальном реестре исторических мест и / или реестре исторической собственности Феникса, также включены в «Список находящихся под угрозой исчезновения исторических мест», выпущенный Коалицией исторических районов Феникса. Эти конструкции подвержены вандализму и стихийным бедствиям. Среди структур, которыми пренебрегают и которым грозит самый высокий риск исчезновения в ближайшем будущем, можно выделить следующие: [12]

  • Лодж Штайнеггера, построенный в 1889 году и расположенный по адресу 27 E. Monroe St.
  • Дом Уильяма Р. Нортона, построенный в 1895 году и расположенный по адресу 2222 W. Washington St.
  • Дом Чарльза Пью, построенный в 1897 году и расположенный по адресу: 356 N. Second Ave. / 362 N. Second Ave. (Адрес 356 - это то, как записи показывают дом сегодня. В старых записях он был указан как 362).
  • Дом Луи Эмерсона, построенный в 1902 году по адресу 623 N. Fourth St.
  • Бунгало из бетонных блоков, построенное в 1908 году и расположенное по адресу 606 N. 9th St.

Руины Пуэбло Гранде [ править ]

Руины Пуэбло-Гранде - это остатки доисторической деревни Хохокам за 450 г. до н.э. По неизвестным причинам это место было заброшено к 1450 году нашей эры. Это некоторые из руин раскопанных построек Хохокам, которые находятся в музее и археологическом парке Пуэбло-Гранде .

Плотина Джойнт Хэд и каналы [ править ]

Когда пионеры европейского происхождения поселились в Фениксе, эта местность была в основном пустыней. Поселенцы, такие как Джек Свиллингбыли вдохновлены древними каналами Хохокам. Вскоре пионеры начали рыть канавы, чтобы нести воду из Соленой реки, которая орошала их фермы. В конце концов, компании по строительству каналов, такие как Arizona Canal Company, которая была образована в декабре 1882 года, были организованы и построили нынешние каналы в этом районе. Плотина Джойнт-Хед была построена в 1884 году, где Джек Свиллинг выкопал свою канаву, известную как «Ров Суиллингса», и где находится река Соленая река. Плотина обслуживала Гранд-канал (построенный в 1878 г.) и, в конечном итоге, канал Old Crosscut (построенный в 1888 г.). Заброшенная плотина Joint Head была определена как имеющая право на включение в Национальный реестр исторических мест в соответствии с критерием «A» из-за ее связи с историей рекультивации, имеющей важное значение для местного значения, и, следовательно, является ресурсом Раздела 4 (f).[13]

Площадь Наследия [ править ]

Площадь Наследия Феникса расположена в здании, которое когда-то было 14-м кварталом первоначального города Феникса. Площадь восходит к викторианской эпохе конца 1800-х годов. Городок был внесен в Национальный реестр исторических мест 7 ноября 1978 года, номер 78000550. Дом доктора Роланда Ли Россона (1895 г.), ныне исторический дом-музей викторианской эпохи , и механический цех Бэрда (1920 г.), которые индивидуально занесены в Национальный реестр исторических мест, также расположены на исторической площади. [14]

Здания и сооружения [ править ]

Этот раздел включает исторические здания, которые занесены либо в Национальный реестр исторических мест, либо в Реестр исторической собственности Феникса. Самым старым из них, который до сих пор стоит и используется, является "Фрайс-билдинг", построенный в 1885 году. Самой старой гостиницей, построенной в 1893 году и используемой до сих пор, является "Виндзорский отель".

Также в этот раздел включены исторические сооружения, такие как «Зерновые бункеры на ранчо Херд», перечисленные в PHPR plus, Трибуна ярмарки штата Аризона, построенная в начале 1900-х годов, «Подземный переход на 17-й авеню» и «Подземный переход на Центральную авеню ", которые могут быть включены в Национальный реестр исторических мест. [15]

Дома религиозного культа [ править ]

Многие из исторических домов религиозного поклонения, такие как «Первая пресвитерианская церковь» (1892 г.), занесены в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Другие, такие как «Церковь AME Tanner Chapel» (1929), были признаны историческими в Реестре исторической собственности Феникса. Церковь Tanner Chapel AME, одна из старейших афроамериканских церквей в штате, является единственной церковью в Аризоне, где, как известно, выступал с проповедью лидер движения за гражданские права Мартин Лютер Кинг-младший . Дома религиозного культа, такие как «Первая мексиканская баптистская церковь» (1920 г.), старейшая латиноамериканская церковь Феникса, признаны историческими по результатам обследований, как и в случае обследования исторической собственности латиноамериканцев в городе Феникс.

Учебные заведения [ править ]

Первая школа в Фениксе была основана в 1873 году. Она была известна как Little Adobe School и располагалась по адресу 202 N. Central Ave., где в настоящее время находится отель San Carlos. В то время школы были разделены, а значит, и многие исторические школы в этом списке. Школа индейцев Феникс была основана в 1891 году в соответствии с федеральной политикой «ассимиляции», которая стремилась к полному формированию и культурному истреблению учащихся коренных американцев . [26] Афроамериканским учащимся разрешалось посещать только школы с разделением по расовому признаку, такие как школа Данбар, построенная в 1925 году, средняя школа цветного союза Феникс (позже переименованная в среднюю школу Джорджа Вашингтона Карвера), построенную в 1926 году, и школу Букера Т. Вашингтонская начальная школа, построенная в 1928 году.

Historic African, Asian and Hispanic properties[edit]

The City of Phoenix conducted various historic property surveys focusing on the themes of African, Asian and Hispanic history in Phoenix from 1870 to 1975. The purpose of the surveys was to identify the number and locations of minority associated historic properties citywide and to document their significance to their community. The surveys were funded by the Phoenix Historic Preservation Bonds funds as well as a Certified Local Government grant received from the National Park Service through the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office. While the National Register of Historic Places Criteria is only concentrated on the properties of these communities prior to 1955, the study included in the surveys take into consideration the significance of the struggle for civil rights and equality. Therefore, the properties which were involved in ending segregation in Phoenix are also included.[32][33][34]

The areas covered in the African American Historic Property Survey are 1. East – the region south of Van Buren Ave.to the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks, east of Central Avenue to 24th Street; 2. West – the region south of Grant Ave. to the Salt River, west of 7th Avenue to 19th Avenue; and 3. South – the region south of the Salt River to Southern Ave., east of 16th Street to 28th Street.[32]

The areas covered in the Asian American Historic Property Survey are spread throughout Phoenix and not concentrated in one area. The concentration of the areas depends on the nationality from which they are descended, such as Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and Asian Indian.[33]

The areas covered in the Hispanic American Historic Property Survey are the regions south of the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks to the Salt River, east of Central Avenue to 24th Street; west of Central Avenue to 27th Avenue and south of the Salt River to Baseline, east to 48th Street and west to 35th Avenue. One of the structures considered as iconic is the Sacred Heart Church which is located in 920 S. 17th St.. The church was built in 1900 in what was once a Hispanic neighborhood called "Golden Gate". The City of Phoenix forced the residents of the community in question to move and demolished the entire neighborhood. The reason given for this act was that the city needed the land to expand Sky Harbor Airport. The church was added to National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 2012. Reference number 12000124.[35][34]

Historic structures related to "The Trunk Murderess"[edit]

Winnie Ruth Judd was a native of Indiana who worked in Phoenix as a medical secretary. Judd was accused of murdering and dismembering the bodies of her two roommates, friends Agnes Anne LeRoi and Hedvig Samuelson. The prosecutors in her trial alleged that she placed the dismembered parts of the bodies in two trunks (suitcases) and took them to Los Angeles. According to prosecutors, the murders were committed by Judd and an accomplice, Phoenix businessman John "Happy Jack" Halloran, whom she claimed was her lover. Her trial was marked by sensationalized nationwide newspaper coverage, who referred to Judd as "The Trunk Murderess". She was pronounced guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. The sentence she received raised debate about capital punishment. Days before her execution Winnie Ruth was called back to the courtroom for an insanity hearing. In 1933, she was found to be insane and moved from prison to the Arizona State Mental Hospital.[47]

The historic properties pictured are all either directly or indirectly related to Judd and the infamous crime. Three of the buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, two of the houses are located in the Historic Roosevelt District which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the house where the murders took place was once listed in the "enDangered Dozen Historic Places List," released by the Phoenix Historic Neighborhoods Coalition.[48] It is now in the process of restoration and will be used to house a law firm.

Laveen[edit]

Laveen, an urban village within the city of Phoenix, which was first settled by farmers and dairymen in 1884. In the early 1900s, Walter E. Laveen and his family homesteaded an area encompassing all four corners of present-day 51st Avenue and Dobbins Road, where they also built the area's first general store — the Laveen Store — on the southeast corner.[61] Two properties in Laveen are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Sunnyslope District[edit]

The Sunnyslope community is a long-established cohesive neighborhood within the borders of the city of Phoenix. It has its own "small town" identity and a sense of place that is a point of pride embraced by community members. Sunnyslope has attempted to be incorporated as its own town on four occasions but failed every time. In 1959 the City of Phoenix annexed the community of Sunnyslope. Most of the structures of historic significance have been razed.[62][63]
