THE COMMERCIAL SPACE

.     The commercial part of the building is spacious and has many historical features.    A mural of 1890s Railroad Avenue is painted on the wall. 

  The deep set windows show the adobe structure. 

     The building is faced with floor to ceiling windows which frame the Dos Cabezas Mountain range and Railroad Park.

    Some evenings the mountains glow pink.   Beautiful.   

Antique counters and display cases are in use.  The original wood floors are in good condition and the new laminate floors look great.   

The side with the two story ceiling has a large skylight illuminating the rear of the store with natural light.

The lower ceiling is pressed tin.  

The double sided gas fire place is new but it is built with the historical flavor of the building with pressed copper fascia on one side and a faux finish on the other.    

The balcony has been used for an office.  It has a good view of all the activity below.      The gigantic triple door safe is in a room off the balcony.   

The stair railing has marble post covers.

LIVING QUARTERS

The apartment is located at the rear of the store.   It has two bedrooms and two baths.

The kitchen was updated in the late 90s.    The kitchen opens into the entry room and to the patio.  

The rear entry can be used for dining or as a small living room.    The gas fireplace is in this room.    It opens into the store, the master bedroom and the patio.   

The upstairs living room opens to the store balcony as well as to the bedroom, bathroom and the downstairs. The windows catch the beautiful Arizona sunsets.

The upstairs bedroom is adjacent to the bath and looks out to Stewart Street through the window through the thick adobe wall.   .  

THE STUDIO COTTAGE.

The cottage is one large room with a recently redone bath.    It is ideal for visitors.   It is big enough for a big project and two large beds plus!   

 A tool room or garden shed is part of the same building.      The yard has fruit trees, ivy, flowers and grass.   The large patio has room for tables and chairs, lounges, barbeques or children’s wheeled toys.
