La Cuidad de Mexico Grocery in Flagstaff, Coconino County, is probably misspelled. "Ciudad" is Spanish for "city"; there is no Spanish word "cuidad" (although "cuidado" means "caution"). The name should probably be "Ciudad de Mexico", although it's possible that the original grocers misspelled it and that the incorrect but historic spelling should be preserved.

The Wilbur O. Bayless/Grasty House (refnum 85000879) in Casa Grande, Pinal County, appears in a misspelled form when one searches for properties in Casa Grande. The search returns a result for "Wilbur O. Baylis/Grasty House". When one clicks on that link, one gets an individual site page on which the name is correctly spelled "Bayless", as it appears in the nom form. Searching for "Bayless" at the Focus site does not produce a hit for this property.

Safford High School, 520 Eleventh St.,
Safford, Arizona. The 1915-built building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 and remains listed, apparently erroneously as the building is gone. The current SHS article reports: "Once the high school moved to its current campus the original Safford Junior High School, which had its own building adjacent to the high school, was torn down in 1980. Safford Junior High, then later Middle, School occupied the main building and the gymnasium until the mid 1990's when concerns for those buildings safety prompted them to be razed and replaced<ref>p. 159.

Masonic Hall (Wickenburg, Arizona) included in Wickenburg MRA, listed with refnum 86001583. Per
report from
User:Carptrash and indication by other as well (see
List of historic properties in Wickenburg, Arizona), the building may no longer exist; it have been demolished. Located at "108 Tegner". Looking at Google maps and Google street view, I can't tell if 108 N. Tegner or 108 S. Tegner is more likely the location; it does not appear at either. Not clear if some portion of the building might survive inside a replacement building. --

County location issue
Two sites incorrectly listed in Maricopa County, Arizona in the NRIS database:
Curtis Cottage: address (125 S. McCormick, Prescott) is clearly in Yavapai County, Arizona;
Rhoda Nohlechek House: the location (Jct. of 2nd St. and Date Ave., NW corner, Wenden) is clearly in La Paz County, Arizona.
Manning Cabin is listed at the Focus site as being "10 mi. E of Tucson in Saquaro National Monument". There are two issues here. First, "Saguaro" is misspelled: the third letter should be a G, not a Q. Second, it is now Saguaro National Park.
