La Casita Del Sol

La Casita Del Sol, a fully-restored 1880s working class adobe rowhouse, is located in the El Presidio Historic Neighborhood, in the northern downtown area of Tucson. The El Presidio Historic Neighborhood is the oldest neighborhood in Tucson, having developed as Spanish settlers made their simple adobe homes just outside the fort (presidio) that protected the mission and convent established by the Spanish conquistadores and missionaries in 1776. A vestige of the Camino Real, the royal highway that connected Mexico City with San Francisco in California, remains as Main Avenue in the El Presidio neighborhood.
