    Monroe Street Abbey windows
    Rachel C.

    History. How I love it when a historic building is restored and has been given a whole new life. This beautiful business in downtown Phoenix was originally The First Baptist Church of Phoenix. Renamed The Monroe Street Abbey. After a devastating fire in 1984 it stood empty for several years. Many folks had their eyes on it for potential investment and it was eventually purchased by an organization that knew that the downtown location and the history would soon provide it a new life. The National Register of Historic Places also saw its value to the community. It was listed on the Register in 1982. Currently there is an Art Gallery/workshop and art class space facing Monroe Street with office spaces on the lower level of the community space. The Sanctuary, Baptismal and Bell Tower are still undergoing final touches to create more gallery, bar/restaurant, music venue, coffee shop & additional office spaces. It is a large building with a lot of potential for the spaces that aren't being used yet. Perhaps you are looking for a larger space for your little shop that has outgrown its walls? The Monroe Street Abbey might just be the place to move when your lease runs out.

Heritage Square is home to some preserved 19th and 20th century homes, museums and restaurants. The Rosson House is a beautiful restored 1895 Queen Anne Victorian house that was once home to early settlers in Phoenix. Heritage Square also hosts many food and cultural festivals. There is a large garage nearby for parking and ASU has a small campus next door. The Arizona Science Center is the building that stands out the most here at Historic Heritage Square. I have gone to it a couple of times and have enjoyed my time there. Arizona's most iconic restaurant Pizzeria Bianco by James Beard Award-winner Chris Bianco is also here. It can be a very long wait to get a table and has been visited by many celebrates like Jerry Seinfeld and Jimmy Fallon over the years. Sometimes I will park near Heritage Square while going to a baseball game and like to enjoy its relaxing peaceful atmosphere before the game. There are some shaded areas to take cover on warm sunny days.

We recently enjoyed a festival that covered not only the main square but also extended beyond it. It was the ideal location for such an event.
