This building was constructed in 1957 for Solot Realty, and designed by Nicholas Sakellar. This project was an early commission for him, and an expression of desert modernism. The narrow storefront is defined by two parallel walls bridged by an open fully glazed storefront. The roof structure is cantilevered over the sidewalk and an opening in the canopy allows a single iconic palm tree to extend high above the roof. A Mesoamerican inspired cast concrete frieze was designed by artist, James Savage, a device often seen in Sakellar's work of this period. Source: Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation
