Arizona State University withdrew its eminent domain lawsuit against the historic Louis Emerson House to preserve the property. The decision followed widespread public opposition and a successful campaign led by John Young and Barry Schwartz. They generated substantial support through a petition that collected over 12,000 signatures. The university had filed the lawsuit seeking to acquire the property for a medical campus.
