Sun Mercantile Building
Sun Mercantile Building, Commercial landmark in downtown Phoenix, United States
The Sun Mercantile Building stands as a three-story Chicago-style warehouse structure with brick walls and large industrial windows at 232 South 3rd Street.
Built in 1929 by architect E.W. Bacon and Wells & Son, this commercial building earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The structure represents the final remaining building from Phoenix's second Chinatown period, marking the presence of Asian-American commerce between 1890 and 1960.
Located next to the Talking Stick Resort Arena, the Sun Mercantile Building maintains protected status as a local historic landmark since 1987.
A successful legal challenge by preservationists and the Asian-American community prevented the construction of a high-rise hotel that would have affected the building.
