Located in the heart of Barrio Viejo, this c.1885 Sonoran-style mud adobe offers a rare expression of Tucson's earliest residential architecture. Spanning 1,288 square feet, the home retains remarkable authenticity with two-foot-thick adobe walls, high ceilings lined with original saguaro rib detail, and early pine floors worn smooth by generations of use. Layered throughout are later artistic touches that feel both intentional and deeply rooted in place--artisan mosaics and the striking, life-size ''water-breathing dragon,'' echo the creative spirit long embedded in Barrio Libre and Barrio Viejo. The interior unfolds with proportions true to the era--intimate, efficient, and adaptable--while the primary bedroom offers a more generous retreat with walk-in closet. Additions introduce
