Annie Graham Rockfellow (March 12, 1866 – January 17, 1954) was an influential and prolific architect active in Tucson, Arizona during the first half of the 20th century.

Born in Mount Morris, New York on March 12, 1866, Annie was the daughter of Samuel L. and Julia Lucinda (Conkey) Rockfellow.

I remember that date because I rode in the parade when the one hundredth anniversary was celebrated in 1894.Perhaps the first concrete remembrance of my babyhood was, at the age of three, a trip to New York with my parents to visit my Aunt Mary for whose daughter I was named.

I dimly remember "Uncle George and Aunt Lizzie Graham" on that early visit, also my cousin Col. Harry Rockefeller, who lost his right arm in the civil war.

In my fifth year my father sold his mercantile establishment in Mount Morris and engaged in the nursery business in Rochester, N.Y., being advised to live an outdoor like to strengthen his vitality.

At the hotel in Washington I was much impressed with seeing Tom Thumb and his theatrical company at special tables in the big dining room.

Two occurrences stand uppermost in my memory of Edenton, N.C. where we stopped during the winter months, -- starting in school and seeing a murderer hanged!

When the time came for our return to New York state a party was given me by the teachers in their beautiful rose garden and supper was served in the large paneled dining room.

Many, many years later some of our friends went to Edenton and there met the two remaining sisters who, learning my address, sent me a box of roses from this self-same garden.

Back in Rochester I attended private schools, roamed about the city and on the beaches of Lake Ontario, in summer; skated, and built snow "igloos" in winter.

While he was acting as "professor" at the University of Arizona he obtained an appointment for me on the faculty, and I came in 1895, but even then I did not realize that it would be the beginning of my eligibility for the Historical and Pioneer Society.

After two years my life was in the east again, "architecting" traveling by bicycle in Continental Europe and Great Britain, and keeping house for my father after my mother's death in 1900.

In the last ten or fifteen years I have visited Alaska, Hawaii, Panama, Cuba, Grand Canyon, Ariz.; Mesa Verde, Colorado; Santa Fe and Indian villages and ruins in New Mexico; Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon; Mexico; and have traveled by horse, rail, bus, boat, auto, and airplane, yet so far I have missed Roosevelt Dam, The Apache Trail.
