The Indian Village Trading Post has found a home at 72 E. Congress St. since at least 1956. According to the April 5, 2007 edition of the Arizona Daily Star, the trading post is moving to a smaller space at the La Placita Village on Church Avenue beginning April 15, 2007 as a new condo development is being planned for the Congress St. site. An upscale restaurant is projected to occupy the space of the Indian Village Trading Post. This building has been around for 110 years and will be restored as part of the new development. 04-07
