DESCRIPTION: A 19th-century perspective of the Casa Grande Ruins, captured as a wood engraving and colorized to highlight the details. Casa Grande Ruins National Monument (O'odham: Siwañ Wa?a Ki or Sivan Vahki), located northeast of Casa Grande, Arizona, preserves a group of Hohokam structures dating to the Classic Period (1150–1450 CE). These ruins, made of caliche, include a four-story "big house" and multiple surrounding structures. President Benjamin Harrison proclaimed 480 acres around the ruins as the Casa Grande Reservation, making it the first prehistoric and cultural reserve in the United States. This area was re-designated a national monument by President Woodrow Wilson on August 3, 1918, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
