Put it in context
Several decades of Phoenix design in one district.
Pierson Place contains a broad range of residential forms. Its neighborhood association documents Bungalows, several Period Revival styles, early modern designs, and Ranch homes, alongside small multifamily properties. Brick, adobe, block, and wood construction all appear in its architectural history.
The city describes Pierson Place generally between Camelback Road, the Grand Canal, Central Avenue, and Seventh Avenue.
Neighborhood names, mailing descriptions, and historic boundaries do not always match. Use the city-mapped outline and the property’s records to establish what applies to a particular home.
