Tempe Historic Property Survey

This house was owned by E. A. Row, 1940-1948. E. A. Row was the principal at Tempe High School. The 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 good example of the Southwest style which retains most of its original features. Character-defining elements include eyebrows at the parapets, corbelling at the top of parapets, wood double-hung windows. Although much of the building is obscured due to mature landscaping, it still provides a positive contribution to the historic character of the neighborhood.
