A few months ago I posted an image of this building while it was still "in the works" of being renovated and here it is now - the Roy Place Building on Pennington & Stone. The building has been restored to its 1928 design complete with cast stone window treatments, cornices, and operable steel windows. Roy Place was an architect most famous for the Pima County Courthouse building. This building will provide space for the U of A College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.
I remember this used to be a Walgreen's (and it was just another plain & ordinary building). This is encouraging to see that there are some things that are going right with revitalizing the downtown area.
Love the Southwest? Love Tucson? Every day on "Tucson Daily Photo" you'll see a new image that might be beautiful, unusual, fun, or maybe even inspirational.
Welcome!
Monday already?
Thanks for stopping by for a little "walk around" photo tour of beautiful Tucson, AZ. I hope you enjoy the trip! Please post your comments about the photos! Contact me at: TucsonDailyPhoto@gmail.com
I'm a transplanted New Yorker who loves the Tucson climate. On New Year's Day I have a bit of fun calling my (snowbound) east coast friends to announce that I'm drinking coffee while sitting on my patio. (:
