my friend posted this link and i was looking through it thinking what beautiful wedding venues they could have made (i love historical locations for weddings)  not to mention that i love old architecture in general too.  anyways, thought you guys might be interested to see how phoenix used to look:

A lot of those buildings remind me of the historic buildings on the NAU campus and hotels and churches in Flagstaff. I haven't been living in Flag for over a year now, but I heard something that the Riordian Mansion was losing its funding as a historic state park and there were plans to close down tours and such. It's sad. History is being lost to make way for all things modern.

I love those pictures! I may have to get that book. FI would love it. The old buildings are  so neat. It's sad that they are all gone.
