Derek D. Horn

Derek D. Horn moved to Phoenix in 1981. After a career in building design and development regulation, he recently retired from the City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department and is a current member of its Historic Preservation Commission. His experience as an engineer, regulator, community mostra'n més leader, and midtown resident uniquely positions him to relate the history of this area. Photographs from the archives of the Arizona Science Center, Phoenix Public Library, and Heard Museum, as well as from the author's collection and other sources, showcase the development of midtown Phoenix and Central Avenue from its rural roots to the dynamic urban center it is today. mostra'n menys
