Gilbert, Arizona

k Old Gilbert home The picture above is of an early home showing that each house had to drill a well to supply the water necessary for the family and for farm animals they were raising. The home to the right was the residence of James Pine. It was built of brick and was one of the finer homes built in the Gilbert area. Most of the early businesses were of a very simple design as you can see in the picture below of the Gilbert Bank. In 1918 when the building was constructed, Gilbert did not have a paved Main Street.
