This building opened as Walsh Brothers Showroom in 1963. The Walsh family commissioned Roy Place and his son, Lou, to design a two-story showroom and office space for their contract furniture company. Roy Place was best known as the architect of Spanish revival pre-war buildings such as the mosaic tile domed Pima County Courthouse in downtown Tucson. This international style post and beam structure is a departure from their earlier stylistic idiom. Comprised of brick veneer walls with framed infill panels and glazing on the southwest corner, the second level extends over the recessed entrance offering shelter from the sun.
