This isn't Phoenix's oldest house. So why does everyone think it is?
The Duppa Homestead has long been recognized as the oldest house in Phoenix, but historians say this isn't true, despite how often it is repeated. The Duppa Homestead, long recognized as the oldest house in Phoenix, is not true, according to historians. The building, located near Sherman Street and Second Avenue, is often believed to have been built in 1871 by Bryan Phillip Darrell Duppas, one of the founders of Phoenix. However, Vincent Murray, a native Arizona architectural historian, claims that the building was not his home, nor did DuppA even own the land when it was built. The adobe structure was reportedly used as a milk shed for Montgomery's farm and dairy operation. However it is believed that Montgomery sold the land to Fredrick G. Fisher in 1902. Elizabeth Seargeant Oldaker, an Arizona historian, restored the building in the 1940s and 1950s to be open as a historical site.
