The Riordan Road Historic Corridor (RRHC) is a local history project I initiated 3 yrs ago here in Flagstaff AZ. So far it has been about generating interest. We've built up a good team spanning several community organizations. We're about to move into the "deployment" phase. More details to come.

The Riordan Road Historic Corridor logo will appear on our website and on all historic markers placed along Riordan Road. It is based on the letterhead of the Arizona Lumber & Timber Company (ALT Co), the main sawmill of which was located at the west end of Riordan Road from 1882 until 1961. ALT Co was the largest employer in northern Arizona from 1882 until the Great Depression.Riordan Road c. 1902 as viewed from Observatory Mesa, looking southeast. Visible are tracks & cars of the Central Arizona Railway (CARy) logging railroad, the Arizona Lumber & Timber Co. (ALT Co) company store, the ALT Co office building, and corporation officer, manager, and employee housing. Riordan Road was the "main street" of Milton, the ALT Co company town. Flagstaff annexed Milton in 1920, and the ALT Co sawmill burned in 1961 and was not rebuilt, but Riordan Road still follows its old course and the ALT Co office building still stands.Riordan Road and surrounding areas in 1916, at the time Flagstaff began efforts to annex the Arizona Lumber & Timber Co. (ALT Co) company town of Milton. At lower right is Kinlichee Knoll, the Arts & Crafts-style "duplex" built by the Riordan families in 1904. At upper left is the ALT Co main sawmill. Riordan Road and surrounding areas in 2025. Kinlichee Knoll, now called Riordan Mansion, is visible at lower left. Riordan Mansion is today the centerpiece of Riordan Mansion State Historic Park. The Riordan Building - formerly the Arizona Lumber & Timber Company (ALT Co) office building, still stands just south of where Riordan Road meets Route 66 on the left side of the map - apart from Riordan Mansion, it is the only structure visible on the 1916 map that still stands. Riordan Road still follows the course it followed in 1916 along most of its length.
