Description: The Monroe Building was built in 1912 and was located at 28 San Marcos Place, Chandler, Arizona. The two-story building was originally built as a meeting hall for the Chandler Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber met upstairs and the lower floors were leased to stores. Merchant E.W. Monroe, after whom the building is named, leased the first floor for the Monroe Hardware Company, Chandler’s first hardware company. In 1915, the top floor space was converted into Chandler’s first movie theater, where silent pictures were shown. In 1919, the second floor became offices for r Chandler’s first attorney Arthur E. Price, after whom Price Road is named. The building is listed as historical by the Chandler Historical Society.
