Harry M. Fennemore House 316/365



Harry M. Fennemore joined the law firm of Chalmers & Kent (successor to the firm of Sloan & Chalmers) in 1912, the same year he built his family’s home. By 1918 Fennemore’s name was added to the firm’s name and the firm of Fennemore Craig today is a firm of 200 plus lawyers and is the oldest firm in Arizona. Sloan & Chalmers opened its offices in one of the few two-story buildings in downtown Phoenix in 1885 when the town was part of the Arizona Territory. Mr. Fennemore lived in this home until his death in 1948. Today it is owned by the proprietor of an art gallery.

This is another beautiful place. It looks good in the sepia.
