Ellis-Shackelford House
Ellis-Shackelford House

The Ellis-Shackelford House, also known during its history as the Dr. Ellis House and the Central Arizona Museum, is located at 1242 N. Central Ave. in Phoenix, Arizona. The house is important in history of Central Avenue Corridor and its Billionaire's Row and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to being one of the remaining unaltered North Central Avenue mansions. The house was built in a bungalow/craftsman style 1917 and designed by architect R.A. Gray, who is best known for having designed St. Mary's Church, and was built by contractor Tom Weatherford. It was listed as part of a study of historic resources in the Roosevelt neighborhood which compared the popularity of the Spanish Colonial Revival style with that of the Craftsman Bungalow. William Ellis moved to Phoenix from Ohio in 1907 and worked as Chief of the Medical Staff of what was then Arizona Deaconess Hospital. He had the house built about a mile from his offices for Reba, his second wife, and his daughter Helen. Ellis's daughter and her husband, J. Gordon Shackelford, for whom the house is also named, called the house home until 1964 and Shackelford added a dentist's office to the property in 1947. Subsequently, the property became a boys' home before becoming home to the Arizona Historical Society and its offices and the Phoenix Trolley Museum in what was the dental office. The home underwent a nine-month renovation in 2012-2013, and as of 2024, the building is owned by the city of Phoenix and is home to Arizona Humanities, the state National Endowment for the Humanities affiliate. In 2016, Amy Ellis Shackelford, great-great granddaughter of William Ellis, became the fourth generation in her family to celebrate a wedding at the house when she married Aaron Aguirre on March 12.

Polly Rosenbaum Building
Polly Rosenbaum Building

The Polly Rosenbaum Building, formerly the El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium, is a building in Phoenix, Arizona, at the corner of 15th Avenue and Washington Street, that was built in 1921. The 18,000-square-foot (1,700 m2) building formerly housed the Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum.The building was completed in 1921 as a home for the activities of the El Zariabah Shrine unit, a local Shriners organization that had been formed in 1896. It was designed by architects Lescher & Mahoney and built by Clinton Campbell. It is an Exotic Revival/Moorish Revival style building. The building and its 0.8-acre (0.32 ha) property were listed on the National Register of Historic Places for the building's architecture in 1989 as "El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium". It was also listed on the Phoenix Historic Property Register at that time.In 1988 the Shriners began construction of a new building and made plans to vacate the building at 15th and Washington, which was in an area where the state government was establishing a government mall. In late 1989, the Shriners completed their new auditorium building at 552 N. 40th Street, which now bears the name "El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium".After the Shriners relocated, the state government of Arizona acquired their original building to house the museum and offices of the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources, which moved in in October 1991. The building was renamed the Polly Rosenbaum Building in honor of Polly Rosenbaum, a longtime member of the Arizona House of Representatives who, in collaboration with then-governor Rose Mofford, spearheaded efforts to obtain and renovate the building as a permanent home for the Department's mineral collection and archives. This is one of two Arizona state government buildings in Phoenix that are named for Rosenbaum; the other is the Polly Rosenbaum State Archives and History Building, located at 19th and Madison and completed in 2008.In February 2010, Governor Jan Brewer announced that the Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum would become the Arizona Centennial Museum for the state's 2012 centennial celebration. The building was to be transferred from the Arizona Dept of Mines and Mineral Resources to the Centennial Commission then subsequently to the Arizona Historical Society. The mining museum was abruptly closed on May 1, 2011, but funding for the proposed museum did not materialize and the building is closed and empty.
