DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun Historic District

Built in Tucson near the intersection of Swan Road and Skyline the property is now a museum open to the public.

The gallery/museum was constructed in 1965 with details including cactus flooring, exposed wood beams, rafters and unique artistic finishes.

Artists and friends who spent time at the new gallery included Thomas Hart Benton, Olaf Wieghorst, Jack Van Ryder, Pete Martinez and Ross Santee.

The first building on the site, The Mission in the Sun was dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe and to the memory of Padre Eusebio Kino.

At the time of the fire there were no hanging pictures by DeGrazia inside the chapel, but walls, murals and the roof were damaged.
