This is a place for discussions of history and historic preservation of Tucson with emphasis on the five Historic Preservation Zones. I will publish articles here when it seems helpful. Useful material from others is welcome. Readers are invited to comment on posts regarding reasonable historic preservation, better understanding of our history and to serve the interests of old downtown Tucson residents. You may be invited to post here also; please let me know if you want to do so. Much of the research and descriptive text have been obtained with Perplexity AI. Feedback on incorrect information or site malfunctions will be very helpful.

For over seven years, I lived in a 1900 brick bungalow in Armory Park and became interested in the history and was active in neighborhood affairs. I've since moved but still live in downtown Tucson and my interest in the city's history broadened. Previous posts were mostly about Armory Park and have not had new ones added for some time. Now that I have given up my neighborhood activities, I can resume working on this blog and researching Tucson history more broadly. 

I am still devoting most efforts to locating source material and organizing it for easier access. It will be a work in progress even as I resume posting articles. If you are a history buff, you may find the sources helpful as you research your own interests in Tucson history. If you want to see the current version of the sources page, click here

Since this site has not been updated for some time and there are many links, there will be some links that are broken or no longer current. Please let me know if you encounter any problems. 

Community history is a niche interest, especially researching and writing about it, but if you are interested in either of these activities, please contact me at historictucson@gmail.com (preferred) or use the Contact Me form at the bottom of the left column.
