Phoenix Historic District Mirror’s this Romantic Revival in Pasadena
You don’t often think of Arizona when you picture historic homes. Did you know there was once a sizable community of Victorian style houses right in the heart of downtown Phoenix? Few remain and none on their original site, but just couple hours north in the center of Prescott, the Victorian is king. Today there is a thriving historic district and a significant collection of homes on the National Historic Register along the Central Ave Corridor.
The gorgeous California Revival home below, located in Pasadena reminds me of some of the older Monterrey and Spanish Colonial Revival style homes that you might find in historic areas of downtown Phoenix. Terracotta and Saltillo tile flooring, brightly colored spanish tile highlighting walls, windows and stairways, arched openings and iron accents, wood-beamed ceilings, all are the hallmarks of revival-style architecture.
