Scottsdale Celebrates Civic Center’s 50 Years
OCT 2018
Every town in America has one, but Scottsdale’s Civic Center is a renowned public space that combines government, literacy, performing arts, public art, special events, gardens, fountains and culinary delights. It’s so special that Scottsdale is throwing a 50th Anniversary party during October 2018 to celebrate its citizen-initiated origins. What’s the back story on Scottsdale’s Civic Center? Although founded in 1888 when the Scotts homesteaded land that was destined to become Scottsdale, the town was not incorporated as a municipality until 1951. Civic gatherings until that point were usually held at Scottsdale Grammar School (the Little Red Schoolhouse), Scottsdale High School or outdoors. The need for city offices grew as the population and size of Scottsdale did. From 1952 to 1955, the town rented a room at the Rural Fire station at Brown and 2nd Street. From 1955 to 1963 the Little Red Schoolhouse served as Town Hall. In 1963 the city rented the top floor of the Triangle Building on Indian School (just west of Scottsdale road) for offices and held council meetings in the City Court/Police building next to the Little Red Schoolhouse. In 1964, scores of citizens participated in the Scottsdale Town Enrichment Program to discuss what infrastructure and amenities were needed for the city. A top priority was to build a civic center that would include a new City Hall, new library, a garden/park setting and space for a future performing arts center.
Arizona architect Bennie Gonzales designed Scottsdale’s Civic Center – City Hall, Civic Center Library, Center for the Performing Arts and the surrounding park-like public gathering space. Scottsdale Historical Society photo
The public library had been moved among ‘recycled’ spaces even more than town hall. Volunteers started providing library services as far back as 1921, moving books from the back room of a Main Street bank, to the Methodist Church, to the Thunderbird Homes recreation center, to the Adobe House and, finally, into the Little Red Schoolhouse when the city and police moved out in 1963. It was too small, and the basement often flooded, ruining books. A downtown area bounded by First Street on the north, Hinton Avenue on the east, Second Street to the south and George Avenue to the west was selected for the Civic Center. Other areas had been considered, including the area adjacent Loloma Elementary School. Voters rejected the first bond issue to fund the civic center; but approved a $2.4 million bond issue on the second try. A citizen committee selected Arizona architect Bennie Gonzales to design the Civic Center. Situated on 14 acres, he planned a 36,000 square foot City Hall and a 39,000 square foot Public Library in a contemporary Southwest style. He also envisioned surrounding public open space, gardens, ponds and public art.
his 1971 aerial looking east shows City Hall (left of center) and the Civic Center Library (right of center), as well as the homes that were eventually torn down to make up the Civic Center Mall and Center for the Performing Arts. Scottsdale Historical Society photo
Scottsdale students collected coins to fund the Children’s Fountain, also called the Fountain of Youth, for the Civic Center.The Fine Art Commission facilitated acquisition of public art for the Civic Center, including Don Quixote, Mother and Child, Woman Spearing Fish and Glidden Parker’s stained glass skylights in City Hall. The City hosted a grand dedication week for its new Civic Center in October 1968, highlighted by a mariachi-led procession down Main Street to the new City Hall. Balladeer Dolan Ellis performed; musician Louise Lincoln Kerr composed a special classical piece, Portraits of Arizona, performed in concert by the Phoenix Symphony. Due to some minor finishing delays, the Civic Center Library did not open until late November 1968; however it was included in the October celebrations. -
When City Hall and the library (shown) opened in 1968, the roadway then known as George but renamed Civic Center Boulevard was a ‘surface street.’ In the mid-1980s Civic Center (now Drinkwater) Boulevard became an underpass, with a connected Civic Center Mall above. Scottsdale Historical Society photo
Many improvements have been made to Civic Center since 1968: the Center for the Performing Arts opened in 1975, the west side of Civic Center Mall with restaurants and shops opened in 1974/75, a hotel was built in the mid-1970s and the Civic Center (now Drinkwater) Boulevard overpass, linking the east and west sides of Civic Center Mall, was completed in the mid-1980s.
