The city has numerous historic properties which have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Some of these properties are listed in both the National Register of Historic Places and in the Phoenix Historic Property Register.〔(Phoenix historic buildings. )〕〔(Phoenix historic homes. )〕〔(Phoenix Historic Property Register )〕 Historic Heritage Square is part of the Heritage and Science Park on the east end of downtown.

According to Robert A. Melikian, author of the book “Vanishing Phoenix”, Phoenix’s preservation office does not have the ability to deny a demolition permit. Therefore, the owner of a property, listed either in the National Register of Historic Places or the Phoenix Historic Property Register, may demolish the historical property if he or she so wishes.〔”Vanishing Phoenix”; by Robert A.
