An American Arts and Crafts style Treasure

The duplex style Riordan mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts style architecture open to the public today.  Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with hot and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights; reflecting the most modern technology and design of the time.

The Riordan brothers moved to Flagstaff in the 1880’s as managers and then owners of the largest employer, the Arizona Lumber and Timber Company.  At the heart of the Flagstaff community for over fifty years, their efforts advocating for progressive improvements: including educational facilities such as the Normal School which grew into today’s Northern Arizona University; the creation of Coconino County with Flagstaff as its county seat; and recruiting scientific institutions, such as Lowell Observatory, and the Fort Valley Experimental Forest Station continue to benefit Flagstaff residents today. Seen by guided tour only, the Riordan family homes showcase all original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.
