when you start taking pictures of pictures.
Recently, Sharon at Phoenix Daily Photo, posted a picture of the Phoenix Indian School.

Which reminded me of pictures I had seen of it in a book with historical photos.

The book is “Early Maricopa County 1871-1920”

This shot is for Ramblin’ Kathy because I think this is one of her favorite houses….maybe…not sure.

Neat pictures. I love houses with big front porches like that last one.

That's an interesting way of reading a photo book: through photos of a blogging friend!
God bless you!

Thanks for posting these! What a great book to have. You made me get out my Phoenix Then and Now book to look for some photos. They have one photo of the dining hall.
When you are up and around again, take a trip to the Heard Museum. They have a wonderful display of the history of the school and stories from people who actually went there. It's very moving.
Sorry but the Indian school just puts me off.
Ciel, I can see where you would feel that way. No apologies necessary. :)
I posted a comment on this post right after it published but it seems to have disappeared! Now what was I wanting to say? Something about how you had managed to find a way to post something interesting without having to stray too far from home. And that wasn't it at all. I don't know if that's my favorite house but it certainly would be one of them. I'm not sure that house still exists. "Center" Street north of McDowell? Was Center Street the precursor to Central? I don't picture anything that elegant remaining there today just north of what would be the Phoenix Art Museum. That is the Alvarado Historic District along that way but the houses, although historic, aren't quite that antique. More like 1920s or '30s as I recall. It's definitely a beauty though, isn't it?
Interesting. Sad that kids had to be shipped away to school.
Love the old house---we have lots like that here. MB
