Testimonials

"The Square will always have a special place in my heart. My engagement photos were taken on the grounds and it was the perfect background for our special day. It's such a beautiful place with a rich, and important history. The tours are very fun to do as well! Touring the Rosson House is a fascinating way to discover how Victorian Era Phoenicians spent their days without AC or proper restrooms. I'm grateful that the The Square exists and I hope it remains a preservation site for
years to come." - Cassie Goats
