Together we Save the Places That Make Tucson Special
A NEW HOME IN AN OLD SPACE
For almost ten years the revitalized Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation has been working to preserve the places that make Tucson and Southern Arizona unique. While we have made huge strides, having a building, a face in Tucson, will allow us to serve our community even more effectively. With the closing of Hirsh’s Shoes, THPF identified an opportunity to save an iconic building and create a lasting, physical home for the Foundation. The purchase of the Hirsh’s Shoes building will allow THPF to expand their preservation efforts in Tucson and Southern Arizona and continue to present the educational programming, community advocacy and the hands-on work of preservation that is so important in order to protect our shared heritage. On October 9, 2018 the building was designated a Tucson Historic Landmark by a unanimous vote of the Mayor and Council, the first modern building to receive the designation.
