Book excerpt: Arizona boasts extraordinary buildings revered for their architectural significance, but for most people, inanimate structures made of brick, glass, and steel come alive only when they learn the human stories behind their conception and construction. Some of the buildings have architectural pedigrees dating to Territorial days and before. Others are remarkable for the role they're playing in the country's urban-design revolution. But all of the buildings profiled in this book have one point in common: they have colorful stories to tell--stories that reveal the essence of Arizona's spirit. Official Arizona State Historian, Marshall Trimble, says a wonderful book on some of Arizona's most famous buildings. For anyone who's ever looked at these classic structures and said, 'If these walls could only talk, ' your wish has been granted.
