The Haas Building was built in 1957 and designed by Anne Rysdale. During her early career, Rysdale worked for prominent Modernist architect, Arthur Brown, before establishing her own firm in 1949. Originally built for the Desert Guild, this tall structure is nestled between a row of single store commercial buildings. The effect is dramatic with a two-story glass facade revealing an exposed open steel staircase to a mezzanine level and a classic bubble light fixture on a long pendant hanging in the lobby. The exterior facade panel above the open storefront was designed for large scale signage or letterforms intended to attract passing motorists. Source: Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation
