Pima County Courthouse 0.14 7
Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

Pima County Courthouse is the former main county courthouse building in downtown Tucson, Arizona. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by Roy Place in 1928 in Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture.

The building previously housed the Pima County Superior Court (1930\u20131977) and later, the Pima County Consolidated Justice Court (1977\u20132015), which handled lower-level state criminal matters and small claims cases. As of February 2015, court proceedings for Justice Court were held in a newer building shared with other Pima County departments, which is located at 240 North Stone Avenue. Superior Court proceedings were held in the Pima County Superior Court building, located at 110 West Congress Street.

As this building was projected to be vacant by 2017, as the various departments and court functions relocate to newer facilities, Pima County was, in 2015, planning to convert the historic Courthouse to museum space. The county was in discussions with the University of Arizona and the Tucson Museum of Art to house exhibits; there was to be a new caf\u00e9, and a memorial to the victims of the 2011 Tucson shooting that seriously wounded then-U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords.

In 2020 the University of Arizona Mineral Museum (UAMM), formerly located on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson, was in the process of moving its location to the Pima County Courthouse in downtown Tucson.

The Stone Avenue Underpass, known to native Tucsonans as \"Lake Elmira\", is a historic underpass on Stone Avenue in Tucson, Arizona.

The underpass was completed in January 1936. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is located between 6th street and E. Toole Avenue/W. Franklin Street, and carries two lanes in each direction of Stone Ave under the Union Pacific railroad tracks that run through downtown Tucson.

Due to the poor drainage, it fills fast during heavy downpours of rain because of that was nicknamed Lake Elmira. It was named after 13 year old Elmira Doakes, by Arizona Daily Star reporter Howard Owetly in the summer of 1937.

In the 1980s, two young history buffs had a zinc plaque made and placed it on one of pillars without permission from the City Of Tucson or The Arizona Historical Society. It reads in English and Spanish:

\u201cLake Elmira. According to a 1937 newspaper account, thirteen year old Elmira Doakes (daughter of Joseph Doakes of Tucson) was the first person to successfully swim across the body of water which formed in the Stone Avenue Underpass (during summer rains). Her route from the Toole Avenue Landing to the Northern Shore has not to our knowledge been followed since. There is apparently no truth to the rumor that the Federal aid was denied in 1940 for building docking facilities and a chlorinating system in this once popular recreational area. (Although the Doakes current whereabouts is not known, it is believed that she moved to California after the Underpass received more efficient drains in the mid-sixties.

Armory Park 0.74 7
Historic, Historical Places, Interesting Places, Historic Districts

Armory Park was a minor league baseball park in Toledo, Ohio. It was the home of the Toledo Mud Hens and their predecessors from 1897 until mid-season 1909 when Swayne Field opened.

Armory Park is the first Toledo ballpark for which any photograph is known to survive. The various sources listed herein give somewhat different descriptions of the ballpark's location. The clearest description is provided by the book Baseball in Toledo, which includes a \"bird's-eye-view\" (p.\u00a020) of the downtown area, including the Armory and the ballpark. This illustration is not contemporary but is a reconstruction drawn in 1943. That book does not give specific dimensions but states that right-field was so short that fly balls hit over the fence in that area were ground-rule doubles. The Sanborn map (pictured) defines its location well.

The Armory itself was on the south corner of Spielbusch Avenue (to the northwest, the portion of the road later renamed Judge Joseph Flores Avenue) and Orange Street (to the northeast). The next street southwest was Beech Street. The lot between Beech and the Armory was the location of the ballpark, precisely where the current U.S. District Courthouse now stands. The ballpark and the rest of the Armory property were bounded on the southeast by North Ontario Street.

When the land was redeveloped for the government complex, Beech and Ontario were removed as public streets in that area, resulting in the larger block now bounded by Speilbusch, Orange, North Erie Street (southeast), and Jackson Street (southwest). The Lucas County Courthouse is across Jackson to the southwest.

The home plate/grandstand area of the ballpark was tucked into the Spielbusch-Beech corner, with the lot being otherwise surrounded by a board fence, except for the left field area, whose high masonry wall was actually the rear wall of the Armory building. This is visible in the photograph in the external link.

This venue immediately replaced one of the two previous Toledo ballparks, Ewing Street Park. Weekend games continued to be played at Bay View Park through the 1900 season. For the next 8+1\u20442 seasons, Armory Park was the Mud Hens exclusive home.

The final game at Armory Park was played on July 2, 1909, the day before Swayne Field's debut. (Toledo Baseball Guide, p.\u00a098)

The Armory building itself was destroyed by fire in 1934, in connection with rioting in the Auto-Lite strike.
