Approximately 60 people were in attendance. Staff encouraged the neighborhood to begin collecting historical information and doing oral histories and collecting photographs from original owners. The City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office reported that it is working on a three-year study of post-World War II neighborhoods, and will not be prepared to make recommendations on tract neighborhoods from this era until the study is complete in a couple years.
