Aspen St & Cherry Hill

      The architecture in the downtown area is very different from the construction with Malpais basalt in Flagstaff's south side area.  The downtown area of Flagstaff of built at a higher elevation, as to avoid a flood when and  (if) the Rio De Flag ever floods, but it is also the chosen place for all the governmental buildings, and more recently more governmental building have expanded and more operations have been put in this downtown vicinity. ( The Picture above is of the Weatherford Hotel, the Old courthouse has the same type of architecture, and building materials.)

     Another feature of this area that I noticed was the "building up" most of the building I saw down town were tow to three stories high, and most with commercial or business on the street level and apartments on the top floors. This is different from Southside, Flagstaff because there is not the agrarian or pastoral need for pasture land.

  This Building downtown is an example of the multi level building very common dowtown. It also seem that SBS west and some of the building downtown were built are around the same time due to the very similar architecture. Heritage square is also a very interesting feature of Downtown Flagstaff. "Empress Amphitheater" is a great place, especially during first Fridays. This is a aunty picking up trash in the glorious Heritage square.
