The Phoenix Historic Coalition has named 12 properties to their new Endangered Places list. The LIST was developed to bring focus and attention to historic properties that need community help. As Steve Procaccini, Coalition board president says:
Despite significant progress in the recent past, Phoenicians, native-born and new-to-town, need to understand our heritage is still threatened by collapse, demolition, or destruction. By highlighting landmarks in danger, we can show people and work to save what we might never see again except in photographs. After all, once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.
Among the properties listed is the former home of Senator Carl Hayden located in Country Club Place. The Hayden House is an adobe home built in 1921. Adobe was a common building material in Country Club Place due to the clay soils in the area. Bricks were formed on-site for many of the area homes. The Hayden House was purchased on May 24, 2010 by Stuart Adair who I am told is planning a renovation of this fine historic property.
