Medlock Place is a premier historic subdivision in central, uptown Phoenix. Located between Central Avenue and 7th Avenue north of Camelback, Medlock Place offers an incredible lifestyle.
Floyd Medlock, a cotton broker, owned a bit of land in what was called the Evan's addition to Orangewood. He subdivideded his portion in 1926 & 1927 to create Medlock Place and Medlock South. The new homes were marketed as rural living with lots of elbow room. Hard to believe this area was once considered rural.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Medlock sold fully built homes verses lots. A variety of revival style homes were offered and history tells us he was pretty darn successful having sold 13 homes in 1927 alone.
Flyod Medlock must have been a bit of a visionary. In addition to his pre-built homes, all electric kitchens (a brave concept in 1927) and DuroPressure Water Systems, Mr. Medlock lined all his streets with palms and other trees. Today, his trees are a dominant feature gives the subdivision a special feel.
Architectural styles in the area include:
- Spanish Colonial Revival
- English Tudor Revival
- Pueblo Revival
- American Colonial Revival
- Ranch Style
- English Cottage
- Bungalow
- Southwest
