Made a trip to Tucson recently to take pics of the front doors of some of the houses. It is really fun to see how they have improved upon, remodeled and/or built new in this historic area.
"Barrio Historico, an historic neighborhood immediately south of the Tucson Convention Center, is one of the best preserved barrios in Tucson. The nearly 20 blocks of Sonoran-style architecture, comprised of thick-walled, original adobe row houses painted in yellows, reds, purples and other vibrant colors, give the area the feel of a Mexican village more than a turn-of-the-century American city. The area is mixed use and buildings include office spaces, artist studios, and restaurants, in addition to being residences, making it one of the more diverse neighborhoods in the city."
A really nice series, I love these shots!
