A historic Phoenix building built by land baron and publisher Dwight Heard that served as the home to The Arizona Republic and Phoenix Gazette newspapers as well as KTAR is getting a makeover.
The Heard Building near Central Avenue and Adams Street is getting a new glass facade and its office floors a more modern and open build out. The seven-story downtown building is made of concrete. It was built that way in 1919 after a fire destroyed the wooden Adams Hotel across the street.
The building was once the tallest building in the state. It was home the Arizona Republican newspaper which became the Republic.
