Tempe Historic Property Survey

Little information is available about this building. Although the building does not appear on the 1927 Sanborn Map or in the 1932 Tempe City Directory, informants who lived in the area at the time placed the construction date in the late 1920s. Informants claimed that the building was originally constructed as a church, but was soon converted to apartments.

This building was rectangular in plan and was constructed of wood frame covered with stucco. The shingled roof was low-pitched with the gable over the front and rear facades. Gable returns characterized the front façade. A central portico had a pedimented pitched roof supported by square wood posts which rested on the porch floor. Casement windows were framed with contemporary shutters. Details at the roof and portico were suggestive of the Classical Style, popular during the revival of Period Architecture in the late 1920s and 1930s. The house was demolished in the 1980s.
