Over at Phoenix Market Trends we’ve been knocking away post left and right. Purposeful to our motive for REC was exploration of Phoenix, especially urban Phoenix: the central core: Downtown and Midtown Phoenix.
Urban Bike is the series through which this is being accomplished. Some recent posts in the URBAN Bike series include:
Urban Bike: an adventure though some midcentury modern neighborhoods in Phoenix.
Urban Bike: on the Phoenix light rail.
Urban Bike: Willo Neighborhood Home Tour.
Urban Bike: Artisan Break Run.

Old Rural House in Downtown Phoenix
June 7th, 2008 categories: Architecture, City Cycling, Local Color
If you didn’t see that office building in the back it would be hard to place this house. In fact its still hard to place it. It could be anywhere, but its not. Its and old home which looks to be built out of adobe; something from the 19th century or early 20th century.
It’s not any specific style, it does not fit anywhere in the historic styles found in Phoenix; it’s unlike any I’v seen here. Adobe built with hints of scandinavian design and southwestern elements. Located in Downtown Phoenix of all places surrounded by offices and maybe one handlful of houses in the area.
I can see this place as small tavern, a local type restaurant, I see lots of potential and reason to keep it right where it is and in this condition more or less; with only the mechnicals, the presevation and cleanliness improved. This could be a magnificent place, its already beautiful. Do you know anything about it? Let me know if you do.
