Arizona: The Pushmataha building

Sedona News – The three Verde area Questers chapters recently presented checks to Keep Sedona Beautiful (KSB) to be used for preservation and restoration (P&R) work on the historic landmark Pushmataha building.

Palatki Questers member Lou Anne Scott said: “The members of the local Questers chapters were looking for a project we could partner on and were excited when we discovered the need at KSB.”

Over its 75 years, the KSB headquarters has aged, especially with degradation from water intrusion. The gifts from The QUESTERS will go toward new fascias, gutters and caulking.

The Pushmataha building, home to KSB, is a designated Local Historic Landmark built in 1960 and located at 360 Brewer Road. “The building gained its historic honor because of its history as an early Sedona museum and retail store, and for its in-tact Old-West architectural style. Because of its landmark status and the type of structural work needed, the project qualified for a Questers P&R grant.” per Janeen Trevillyan, a member of Sedona Questers.

Diana Hooper, president of Verde Valley Questers noted the project as another example of how THE QUESTERS have helped preserve history and historic places in the Verde, to-date totalling almost $50,000 in grants over the years.
