Fun Facts

The Riordan Mansion was designed by Charles Whittlesey, who was also the architect for the El Tovar Hotel at the Grand Canyon.

The mansion is an excellent example of American Arts and Crafts style architecture, featuring local materials like volcanic stone and ponderosa pine.

The mansion consists of two nearly identical homes connected by a large common area, built for two Riordan brothers and their families.

The Riordan family played a significant role in the economic and cultural development of Flagstaff, particularly through their involvement in the lumber industry.

The mansion houses an extensive collection of original furniture, artwork, and personal items from the early 1900s, providing a glimpse into the past.

The mansion spans over 13,000 square feet, making it one of the largest Arts and Crafts style homes in the Southwest.

The mansion is preserved as part of the Riordan Mansion State Historic Park, offering guided tours and educational programs to visitors.
