This rezoning application adds a Historic Preservation Overlay to the Thompson Rock Garden, a folk art environment. Constructed by Grover Cleveland Thompson in the 1950s-70s, this unique property integrates artistic structures, a residential house, and garden features made from cement, mosaic, and cast concrete. It is recognized as one of the only two known folk art environments in Phoenix and contributes significant cultural value.
Preserving the Thompson Rock Garden ensures the protection of a rare artistic and historical asset, promoting cultural heritage and unique architecture in Phoenix.
