Logan Simpson surveyed and evaluated a fire-damaged 1934 zanjero adobe building in Phoenix, Arizona for Salt River Project. The inventory involved field documentation and an architectural report addressing the historic and current condition of the building. Our team engaged Adobe Technology LLC as a subcontractor to prepare emergency stabilization recommendations. The project also involved a Class I cultural resource inventory to identify the nature and scope of previous archaeological investigations and documented cultural resources within the project area and surrounding 1-mile buffer.

The Class I inventory suggests the presence of subsurface cultural deposits within the project area, enhancing the property’s overall historic value. Logan Simpson determined that the building meets eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), either individually or as a contributor to the Salt River Project Diversion and Conveyance System Historic District. Recommendations included further post-cleanup architectural documentation, archival research, and, if deemed appropriate, NRHP nomination drafting and submission and/or a Historic American Building Survey report.
