Best Architectural Influence
STAFF PICK: While scholars readily discuss the merits of the "Joestler this" and the "Spanish that" when elucidating the many architectural treasures to be found in the Old Pueblo, they often fail to mention a style of building that has had a profound yet subtle effect on our town's development. We are referring, of course, to the Las Vegas style. Sadly, this influential mode, which flourished in the mid to late '60s, has now fallen into desuetude, and only a few buildings remain--the Flamingo Travelodge on Stone Avenue, the Tucson Inn on Drachman Street--which wanly reflect the glory of those bygone years. It's inconceivable that a city able to muster the resources to restore an ornamental water tower is as yet incapable of adequately preserving one of its most precious resources.
