History: Lola Sanchez lived on this property for 76 years. The original adobe house was replace in the 70’s with a block home. She loved her home and decorated it (and herself lol)in the vibrant colors of the Barrio and Mexico. Lola’s family were farmers from Benson and Mexico. Her parents bought this land in early 1900s. The Sanchez family has been well established in the Barrio Hollywood neighborhood for almost a century. We hope you have a wonderful stay and experience the culture of one of the oldest Mexican American barrios in Tucson.
