Historic Preservation Champion Soldiers On

Henry Taylor, as a college student earning his psychology degree, grew up with a desire to help people, a love of history and a fondness for the West. While going to school, he read Zane Grey’s Call of the Canyon, a novel set in Northern Arizona’s cattle and sheep ranching heyday of the early 1900s. Readers can just about taste the dust and feel the bumps as Grey describes horse-powered travel over rugged, rocky terrain. But Taylor could feel something more. He took note when the novel’s heroine, Carly Burch, warmed her hands by the fireplace in the Hotel Weatherford, where the book was written. Taylor, who grew up with his six brothers in the historic Arizona Rancho hotel some 87 miles down the road in Holbrook, felt an instant connection with the old building on North Leroux. That image of Carly and the fireplace stayed with him as he visited the Weatherford in 1975. “I’ve always wanted to save this place,” he said from a seat in The Gopher Hole, a popular lunch spot and nightclub in the restructured basement. “I walked in the building and learned it was going to be torn down. The red sandstone blocks were the only thing valuable.
