Distinctive architecture

The main building at The Historic Y was designed by Annie Graham Rockfellow to house the YWCA of Tucson and completed in 1930. Expanded in the 40's and 50's, the entire complex was updated and converted to offices in the 1980's, with care to preserve the original architectural features that lend the building its wonderful charm and character.
