I can say this much-- the guide said there was a time when there were two small communities, "Flagstaff" north of the tracks and "Milltown" south of the tracks. The Mansion is south and west from downtown, at the edge of Northern Arizona University, which was originally the "Normal School" funded by the Riordans (who owned AL&T.) And there were company operations in this area, but I didn't hear or read anything about when they came to an end. Oh yeah-- the mansion was designed by the Santa Fe's architect who had just done "El Tovar" at the Grand Canyon... Scott Pitzer ========= -----Original Message-----

The Kaibab Mill just west and south of Flagstaff was best know for it's pine finished goods. It closed in the mid 1980's. Greg Yahoo! Groups Links |
