Thanks for this. Attended the U of A in 1961to 1965 and I was unaware of these neighborhoods. Interesting

Hi Liz, it's great to hear from another fellow Wildcat! Glad you enjoyed the video :D

My folks brought me home from TMC to our beautiful house in Indian Ridge, with its living room full of the Catalina Mountains. A terrific neighbor to be a kid.

Thank you for sharing that story! Indian Ridge is such a pretty neighborhood, it's no surprise it's so popular 6 decades later. 😎

Thank you for this unique video. I immigrated here from St Petersburg 2 years ago and at first I didn’t get Tucson at all :) all of the tour guides mention 10-20 “mainstream” buildings like San Xavier, Fox Theater, Congress Hotel and such (which are great), but it was always not enough for me. Thanks to you, I’ve learned about all of these hidden gems of Tucson that are not usually mentioned on any tourist websites or blogs. Very inspiring. Can’t wait to drive/walk around those quaint neighbourhoods. Thank you for sharing your love for architecture and Tucson’s history 🙏

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope it spurs lots of walks and drives exploring some of these areas. :)

when we moved here in 1960, my mom went for work for Lusk as a secretary.

It's fun to hear stories like that. Thank you for sharing and I hope you enjoyed the video :)

@@RealTucson Can you do something on Campbell-grant neighborhood one of these days?

@RealTucson Год назад

Yes we will definitely be working on one for that area! I love that neighborhood. It's great that it's easily walkable to so many fantastic local restaurants and coffee shops on Campbell.

Hey, I really enjoyed your program. I lived in Tucson and graduated from the U of A and sold real estate while working as home designer/draftsman for many years. Could Lusk block be slump block? It was also called mission stone and desert stone in my day and used in a lot of areas. Thanks for posting.😊 Oh, by the way Mid-Century Modern is my favorite stlye of home.

@RealTucson Год назад

Hi John, Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment! From what I've seen, burnt adobe is most common with the Lusk neighborhoods in Tucson. I think his earlier work was red brick and painted concrete block. I don't recall seeing any slump block in a Lusk home, but you never know. :) However, J Herbert Oxman was another midcentury builder in Tucson and many of his homes (especially in late 60s and early 70s) were built of slump block, as well as burnt adobe. Learn more about Oxman in another midcentury video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uuymXuVRAVU.html

@johnbeckett8028 Год назад

Thank you for your response. I do think slump block came out in the late 60s. Just as Mid-Century Modern homes were moving into a slow mode.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, wish I had known this when I was looking for a home in Tucson. I really like the style and large lots. I bet they don't come on the market often do they?

@RealTucson Год назад

Thanks for the comment and we're glad you found the info helpful. Availability depends on the neighborhood. Some neighborhoods have higher turnover than others. It also will depend on how many homes are in the neighborhood. For instance, Indian Ridge usually has more homes that come up for sale than San Rafael Estates mostly because Indian Ridge has a larger number of homes.

@rogercotman1314 Год назад

The "carport" is big in these homes. What's the story on that???

@RealTucson Год назад

Carports are an important feature on midcentury homes and can be found on most ranch homes. Homeowners at the time liked showing off their car or cars to their neighbors. :D

@rogercotman1314 Год назад

@@RealTucson Thanks, did Frank Lloyd Wright develop the concept??? I think I read that ......... long ago.....

@@rogercotman1314 Hmmm... Interesting! I'm not sure but it sounds possible :)
