This house was built by N. B. Page in 1892. By the mid-1890s, it was occupied by Rev.
Addison B. Tomlinson, a Baptist minister. In 1915, Frank Brechan bought the property.
Brechan was a zanjero for the Tempe Irrigating Canal Company and the Salt River project
from 1919 until his retirement in 1947. The Brechan family still owned the property at the
time that the building was demolished in the 1980s.
The Page/Tomlinson/Brechan House was square in plan with a shingled hipped roof, and
was built of brick and stucco. A concrete water table encompassed the house. The main
entry was a single leaf door and windows were rectangular and double-hung. The house was
in deteriorating condition when it was demolished in the 1980s.
