You may have noticed this historic beauty on the way to @crescentphx, but do you know its story? ⁠
⁠
The Charles Pugh House (aka the 1895 House) most recently served as a restaurant, but it has been vacant for a number of years.⁠
⁠
Historian Donna Reiner did some digging to uncover the many past lives of the brick Victorian house. Take a few minutes to read her blog at the link in our bio!

In honor of the @Suns defeating the Lakers on Thur

In honor of the @Suns defeating the Lakers on Thursday to advance to the NBA Western Conference semifinals, let's throw it back to June 26, 1993. 🤩⁠
⁠
The celebration of the team came one week after the Suns were defeated in the NBA Finals by the Chicago Bulls, and more than 100,000 fans flooded Downtown Phoenix for the "Salute to the Suns" parade. ⁠
⁠
Now let's beat those Denver Nuggets tonight! ⁠
⁠
The @RenHotelPhx watch party has moved inside the hotel's ballroom. Expect a DJ, multiple projection screens, games & raffles, and more. ⁠
⁠
You can also watch the game at one of downtown's newest restaurants, @TheAinsworth_phx. Or, at downtown's oldest restaurant, @majerles_phx. 🏀 #RallytheValley

Located just west of Downtown Phoenix in the Capit

Located just west of Downtown Phoenix in the Capitol Mall neighborhood, the Carnegie Public Library still stands. Built in 1904, it was spearheaded by the Friday Club, a women’s literary group created for the intellectual and social development of its members.

Thanks to the many so-called “pushy” women in Phoenix history, we are able to enjoy libraries, art museums, history museums, hospitals, schools, and so many other things that most of us take for granted. 👏
Local historian and writer Donna Reiner shares stories of the ambitious women's groups that made a mark on our city - link in bio!
