Historic Home Tour in Mesa Jan. 18

Mesa's annual Historic Home Tour, benefiting the Mesa Historical Museum, will be on Saturday, Jan. 18 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Historic Home Tour will feature 12 homes in various architectural styles including Craftsman Bungalow, Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Mission Revival, Pueblo Revival and Ranch, in the West Second Street and Evergreen historic districts.

The West Second Street Historic District is the oldest historic district in Mesa and offers the most diverse architectural styles of any such district in the City. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1999, this historic district is noted for its architectural merits and its historic association with the evolution of Mesas most prominent families from the early 20th century.

The Evergreen Historic District became the first neighborhood in 1909 to include subdivisions platted beyond the original square mile of Mesa. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, this historic district is significant for its association with the development of a cohesive neighborhood of middle and upper-class families in Mesa from 1910 to 1948.
