Hayden Flour Mill: Landscape, Economy, and Community Diversity in Tempe, Arizona, Volume 3: Hayden Flour Mill Historic Preservation Plan

The character of a community as expressed in its
prehistory, history, and architecture is different from any
other, and the City is no exception. A comprehensive Plan
for cultural resources within the Hayden Flour Mill Project
area is an essential component of the City’s future plans for
downtown development. The Hayden Flour Mill Plan is a
unique document that responds to Tempe’s goals and reflects
its preservation values. As a forward-looking document, this
Plan is intended to create an agenda for future preservation
activities, and provides a means for measuring progress in
protecting the significant prehistoric and historic resources
in the project area.
The Plan builds upon the recommendations and results of
recent architectural, archival, and archaeological studies (see
Volumes 1 and 2 of this report series). These investigations,
as well as previous efforts of the City, have laid the
foundation for the scope, direction, and priorities reflected
here. The Plan is designed to build upon and be consistent
with previous historic preservation documents prepared by
the City (e.g., Tempe Plan) as well as the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for Preservation Planning.
