East and west about 5,000 feet were available and north-south a short half mile was usable by dodging the two farms shown in the far left and right center. The hangar was 100 by 100 ft., made of steel and brick with a concrete floor and the tower was two and a half stories tall, containing two small rooms. The concrete taxi and warm up pad extended to the airline terminal which housed the office, radio room, and the weather bureau. The property was purchased by the City of Phoenix in 1935.Date Original1934Date Range1930s (1930-1939)TypeStill ImageOriginal FormatBlack-and-white photographsContributing InstitutionArizona Historical SocietyCollectionArizona Aviation History - The Ruth Reinhold CollectionSubcollectionMS FM MSS 14, Series IV: PhotographsRights StatementContact the Arizona Historical Society Library and Archives, Tempe. http://www.arizonahistoricalsociety.org/tempe-archives/
