My grandmother was born in a little house on Center in Mesa, built by her dad, my Great-Grandfather.
It's still there, just north of Main on the west side of the street (I think it's a law office now).

No, they weren't LDS, in spite of living in Mesa. (That's the usual question, not saying you would ask it, necessarily).

So cool!!!!
