This is a place for discussions of history and historic preservation of old downtown Tucson and the five Historic Preservation Zones. I will publish articles here when it seems helpful. Useful material from others is welcome. Readers are invited to comment on posts regarding reasonable historic preservation, better understanding of our history and to serve the interests of old downtown Tucson residents. You may be invited to post here also; please let me know if you want to do so. Much of the research and descriptive text have been obtained with Perplexity AI. Feedback on incorrect information or site malfunctions will be very helpful.

The Armory Park Historic Advisory Board

 

The Armory Park Historic Advisory Board (APHZAB)

APHZAB and the Tucson/Pima County historic preservation process are major players in preserving the historic character of Armory Park. APHZAB reviews projects which propose to construct or alter the exterior of any structure in the HPZ. and makes recommendations which are then considered by the City/County board and the Planning and Development Services Department director. The Tucson Mayor and Council are the final reviewers if there is an appeal.
