For Star subscribers: Historical Society board votes to sell Sosa-Carrillo House. Finished in 1880, it was one of only a handful of buildings spared when its barrio was razed for 'urban renewal.'
Henry Brean The Arizona Historical Society has agreed to sell a 19th century adobe house in downtown Tucson that has been in the agency's hands since it was saved from demolition in 1971.
In recent years, the historical society identified — but had so far been unable to fund — almost $1.3 million in renovations needed to protect the structure and improve it as a museum and events venue. Historical Society Executive Director David Breeckner called it “a unique solution” to a “challenge of stewardship” the agency faces at its historic properties across the state.
Ownership of the property will revert back to the historical society in 2035, when the tax-district is slated to be dissolved. After that, the building — then known as the Frémont House for its tenuous link to 19th century military leader and Arizona territorial governor John C. Frémont — underwent extensive renovations as some 250 homes and businesses surrounding it were bulldozed.
The house at 151 S. Granada Ave. also needs a new roof and air-conditioning system, upgraded electrical wiring, and improvements to its 50-year-old bathrooms and kitchen so it can better host wedding receptions and other special events.
