Tucson, around 1880! The street where the farms end and the city begins is Main Avenue, which was the Spanish Colonial Camino Real. The light area that runs L-R amidst the farms is the Santa Cruz River, which flowed year-round at that time. The park is now called Presidio Park.
Existing buildings from this era are the Fish-Stevens House (now part of Cafe a la C'Art / Carte Blanche Catering and the Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block), and the Sam Hughes house. The elegant 2-story adobe home across from the Congregational church belonged to Barron Jacobs, a Tucson merchant, banker, and legislator. It was torn down in 1968 (photo:
