MORE HISTORY ON THE HOME:

The E. Stuart Howard House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 is considered historically significant as a contributor to the Medlock Place Historic District. It is also on the Phoenix Historic Property Register. After serving in WWI in France, Edward Stuart Howard, Jr. moved to Phoenix in 1926 and married Frances in June 1930, setting roots at this home on Oregon Avenue in late 1937. Though it is unclear who designed the home, according to family members, Mexican laborers built the house, and construction of the home likely began shortly after the purchase of the lot. Final work was still underway late that year when a local real estate agent used it as a model while selling lots in the South Orangewood subdivision. The home remained virtually unmodified under the ownership of family members until 2018.
