FARM LAND TO DEVELOPMENT
Once upon a time, farm land stretched across this portion of Phoenix. Dairy, cotton and other crops were grown in the area. The 5 Cs that the pre-war economy was based on were cotton, citrus, cattle, climate and copper. The population in Arizona had grown by over 100% during the post-war years (1945-1960), spurring a housing boom. Many acres of former farm land were being redeveloped for housing. The subdivision, Mountain View Park Plat 2, was platted by Crown Realty Co. on September 11th, 1947.

Builder
Farmer and Godfrey Crown construction co.
Evert L. Farmer was born in Lindsey, OK in 1914. He moved to Phoenix with his family, when he was a baby. He started building homes in 1937 in the Phoenix metro area. He served in the army air corps during the 1940s. Farmer partnered with Fritz H. Godfrey in 1945 and ran a successful contracting business for many years called Farmer and Godfrey Contracting. Farmer died in 1975 at the age of 61. I couldn't locate much information on Fritz H. Godfrey, but from old newspaper articles, I gather that he was a carpenter in this early working days. "Builders of better homes" was the marketing motto for both Crown Construction Co. and Farmer and Godfrey. My guess is that Crown Construction Company was the name of Farmer's construction company prior to partnering with Godfrey, but I have not been able to confirm.
