This building was finished in 1920 and opened as the Chandler Theater. Later it was bought by another couple who renamed it the Rowena. The theater seated 600, and is a nice example of the Mission Revival style of architecture.

In 1918, Dr. Kramer M. Gilbert, Chandler's first doctor, had this building built and practiced medicine here for over 30 years. On the second floor of the building was the office of Chandler's first dentist.

This building housed the Arrow Pharmacy for almost 90 years beginning in 1918. The pharmacy was run by John "Doc" Weber and had a very popular soda fountain where residents of the town would gather for soda and ice cream.

There is a nice gift shop called Sibley's in old town on San Marcos Place where you can get more info about Chandler and buy gifts and postcards for the folks back home. One of the neat things is that they also have postage stamps for the cards including the ones for mailing cards to Canada and other countries overseas. The lady I talked to while I was there was very nice too.

There are two statues in the park: One of Dr. A. J. Chandler, who helped found the town, was the first veterinarian in Arizona and helped design and build the irrigation system that helped farmers in the area, and one of famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Dr. A. J. Chandler Park straddles Arizona Avenue between Buffalo Street and Boston Street through the main part of Old Town Chandler. The park is a nice place to relax and has long been the social gathering place for old town. The Christmas Tree you see in Photo 2 is a popular tradition in the town and is constructed of tumbleweeds.

Old Town Chandler runs mainly along Boston Street, Arizona Avenue and San Marcos Place. The entire old town is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Chandler Historical Society has done a great job posting signs in old town telling the history of the buildings complete with an old photograph.
