I'm taking it they will be tearing down that house that sits at that block? Is there any histroy to that home? It looks like old Victorian. On a side note, there are a lot of feral cats on that property and someone sneaks inside the fence and puts buckets of dry cat food for them. Must be about 20 cats. Anyone need a kitty??
Awesome to see more on the way. Burton Barr is going to be effin' packed....whenever they reopen.

I was curious and well and tried looking into this.
This article says the house was built in 1921. Also per the article, the house is more notable for who designed it than for what it is. It was designed by Lescher & Maroney, who did many of the early Phoenix buildings, including the Orpheum theater, Old City Hall, the Brophy chapel, Title & Trust building aka Orpheum lofts, the Coliseum, etc. The Owner sought a demo permit last year, but apparently there was some push to give historical protection to the building, and the owner amended the application to move the structure to 925 E. Roosevelt. Obviously that didn't happen at the time.
Moving the structure does not appear to still be the plan. Owner applied for a new demo permit last week. In doing so, owner triggered the new 30 day waiting period, which is running now and expires February 11, 2018.
