The American Optical Company building was built in 1958, and designed by Anne Rysdale, the only registered female architect in Arizona during the time period. It has a petite asymmetrical facade with elegant proportions. A beveled concrete picture frame defines the entrance surrounded by an interlocking stacked bond red brick wall. It is unclear as to whether the original door and adjacent panel had been glazed or solid, but the facade is beautifully composed and remains intact. Source: Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation
