The Ware Building – Built Circa 1910
The Buckeye Pharmacy Building – Built Circa 1920
Built by Wallace Joslin, the Joslin Building has also been known as the 3H Mercantile and the home of the San Linda Hotel. Like many buildings in downtown Buckeye, the Joslin has transformed with some frequency throughout the years. As if plucked from the movie It’s a Wonderful Life the Buckeye Pharmacy once served sodas and health supplies to the townspeople of Buckeye. Today, the building is shorter in stature than its former self, yet it continues to keep Buckeye healthy.
Formerly the home of the Buckeye Valley Bank, the Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce and Buckeye Restaurant, The Ware Building has worn many hats in its century old existence. Today, the building offers retail space for those looking to sell their wares in Historic Downtown Buckeye.

The Buckeye Tin Shop Building – Built Circa 1900s
Also known as the Old Courthouse & Jail, this small structure once housed Buckeye’s public library, hosted some of the first Women’s Club meetings, served as a food bank and offered a home away from home for local criminals. From tin shop to grocery, bath house, audio shop and burger joint, this 100-year- old building has seen a lot of changes in Historic Downtown Buckeye throughout the years. Today it hosts an assortment of vintage and handmade goodies.
Built during the Great Depression, this beautiful brick building located just to the east of the Joslin Building was once the home of the Palm’s Cafe & Bar. Today, the building continues to serve up delicious homestyle food and specialty coffee to Buckeye residents and visitors.

Once known as the “coolest” place in Downtown Buckeye, the Buckeye Ice Company supplied artificial ice to Buckeye residents for five decades before modern refrigeration forced demand to dwindle. During the 1960s and 70s, the building doubled as a local Meat Locker.
