Starkweather buildings reflect a sophisticated understanding of the [[Art Deco]] movement – both the Starweather Home on Adams Street and in El Encanto Estates are examples of Pueblo Deco Style. Perhaps his most significant building is the Arizona Inn: a series of lush courtyards and pink plastered buildings commissioned by [[Isabella Greenway]].
 
Starkweather was a founder of the [[Tucson, Arizona#The Tucson Rodeo (Fiesta de los Vaqueros)|Tucson Rodeo]]. In 1937, he founded the Arizona chapter of the [[American Institute of Architects]] and in 1968 was named an AIA Fellow.
 
He founded the Tucson Blueprint Company before [[World War I]].
