The story of the Ashland Place Historic District
How the area came to be.
The Ashland Place subdivision was recorded in 1920 with 76 lots and built mostly on speculation by Home Builders, Inc., a company organized in 1910 under R.H. Greene with the realty firm Greene and Griffin, which built over 800 homes in central Phoenix before 1939. Hollywood architect C. Lewis Kelley, hired in 1924, designed many houses.
By 1926, 47 homes stood, and by 1931 only four lots were vacant. The eight lots facing Central were later redeveloped and are excluded.

Before you buy
Properties inside a City of Phoenix HP overlay district need Historic Preservation review (a Certificate of Appropriateness) for most exterior work, new construction and demolition; interior work is generally not reviewed. Confirm the specific parcel is inside the HP overlay and whether it is contributing. Phoenix requires short term rental permits under its own ordinance; state law limits how far cities can restrict STRs. Older homes: check for original electrical, cast iron or clay sewer laterals, and irrigation rights (SRP flood irrigation is common in central Phoenix historic neighborhoods). All of this is address specific.
