in Tucson Arizona
The courthouse, in Tucson’s downtown district, was designed by Tucson architect Roy Place and built in 1929. The building has a Spanish Colonial and Moorish style, and a rather remarkable dome decorated with mosaic tiles. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Santa Catalina Mountains in Tucson
Much of Catalina State Park was hidden under an early morning cloud cover. It didn’t take long for the sun to burn through the clouds and by mid-morning the sky was Arizona’s trademark – a deep blue.
La Placita Village
The Visitor Center in downtown Tucson is housed in a group of buildings, all painted with bright colors.
Pinks, yellows, blues, and yes, this delicious turquoise color. I love the lines in this photograph, and the reflections in the windows that quite invite you to tell an imaginative story to explain what you might imagine.
Pool and Courtyard
One of my first stops was to see Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and studio in Scottsdale, Arizona. I took many photographs – the tour guide was most kind and accommodating – and I will have more to post. More info about the architecture, too.
at Pendarvis Historical Site
Polperro House is one of six house that are on the interpretative tour at Pendarvis Historical Site in Mineral Point Wisconsin. I love the exterior architectural details on this 150 year old house. Quarried limestone blocks on the first floor, chinked wood on the second and third floors, and quite intricate doors and windows pieced in place.
