Nestled in the shadows of Papago Park just north of our sister project, O’Connor House, and The Arizona Historical Society Museum on College Avenue, is a special piece of history that is close to completion. Civic minded community partners have come together to save this historic home and create a vision and end use for thousands of visitors annually. Eisendrath House will contain the only Water Conservation Education Center in the Valley. The City of Tempe Water Conservation Department and Salt River Project are currently offering residents and visitors educational programs and information on site in the SRP Water Education Facility about our most precious resource WATER, its importance, conservation and sustainability.
This Adaptive Rehabilitation Project only needs $400,000 to complete the interior and grounds of this important historic landmark. The project leader, Rio Salado Foundation, and its partners are asking for your support and involvement. The community is coming together at a grass roots level to spread the word about opening this “historic jewel in the desert”. Join the partners to date:
