1949 - Present Porters Western Wear
Built in 1929 as Scottsdale's first full time post office, this structure served as a gathering place for local townsfolk and nearby Indians awaiting daily mail from Phoenix. Although the second floor housed offices, postal operations continued on the lower level until 1949 when the post office moved and Porters Western Wear occupied the building.
