Here is what North Central Avenue in Phoenix, AZ looked like in 1906. That is 100 years ago! Right in my part of town. The house pictured here is the William J. Murphy's house. The name may not be familiar to many, but the beautiful path that runs along side Central Avenue is. The path still to this day has a wonderful canopy of trees lining the path. The path is called the Murphy Bridle Path. It runs from Bethany Home Road to the Arizona Canal just north of Northern Avenue. The Murphy Bridle Path has been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.Today even during the hottest months of the year you will see dog walkers, joggers, cyclists, strollers enjoying this treasured oasis.
