Historic Tovrea Castle gets new life through restoration project

More from this show

Tovrea Castle in Phoenix, the historic “wedding cake castle,” has a refreshed look after the Tovrea Carraro Society completed a restoration of its caretaker’s house and cottage, structures originally built nearly a century ago.

While not open for occupancy at this time, both the house and cottage serve as visual museum pieces preserving the site’s architectural heritage.

Tamera Zivic, President of the Tovrea Carraro Society, joined “Arizona Horizon” to share how the restoration connects the community to one of Phoenix’s most beloved landmarks.
