Via the City of Mesa
By Cecilia Chan | Mesa Tribune
Today, the Sirrine Home at Center and 2nd streets – the city’s only fully restored Victorian-era historic house – is planned for a reinvention into an agricultural-entertainment space with educational opportunities and public event spaces.
The currently inactive site, which includes a carriage house, is owned by Mesa, which purchased it in 1986.
“The Sirrines were one of the major farmers and a significant part of the City of Mesa,” said project manager Kevin Klun at last week’s Historic Preservation Board. “So with our vision of improving the Sirrine House property, we stuck with four ideas – respect the history, urban farming and educational hub and public events.
