Indian Ridge Historic Project

Indian Ridge Historic Project Website

The Indian Ridge Historic Project website is maintained to share and educate those interested in Mid Century Modern Architecture. Our neighborhood is unique to the desert southwest where burdt adobe block from Mexico was one of the primary building material which when maintained and sealed properly will last for many years in this blazing sun.

Have questions concerning the historic aspect of the district or if you live in the neighborhood and want advice or suggestions before you start modifcations to your contributing property? Please contact Doug at - historicindianridge@yahoo.com
