Tempe Historic Property Survey

Survey Number: HPS-379
Name: Traynor Residence
Location: 1008 S. Maple
Year Built: 1940
Architectural Style: Spanish Colonial Revival


This property was owned by John A. Traynor, 1946-1948. This home is located in the Park Tract subdivision, which was platted in August of 1924. This home is an example of later infill construction in a developed area. Many lots had remained vacant from the original subdivision plat. During upswings in the economy, these lots were built on. The result is a mix of older and newer houses in close proximity.

This building is a fine example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Character-defining details include wood double-hung windows, tile roofs, and stucco finish. This building is virtually intact and provides a very positive contribution to the historic character of the neighborhood. Period Revival houses are very rare in this Tempe neighborhood.
