Globe’s Historic Buildings: Ten By Trost and Trost

Globe’s historic buildings include several which were designed by the architectural firm of Trost and Trost.  The firm designed hundreds of buildings throughout the southwest including  Alburquerque, Tucson, El Paso, Benson,  Bisbee, Douglas and more.  In Miami they designed the stately Bullion Plaza School which now serves as a museum and in Globe they designed the following ten commercial buildings: 

The Arizona Eastern Railroad Complex (4) Buildings 

The Railroad complex at the end of Broad Street once included three buildings: A passenger depot, freight office and restaurant building. The restaurant building burned down in the 1990s, but the freight office and passenger depot were preserved and restored thanks to the work of Kip Culver and Globe’s Main Street Program  in 2005 – 2008.
