Bolsius House

Restoring Cottonwood Lane at Fort Lowell.
We funded the purchase of fifty cottonwood trees, and in partnership with the City of Tucson are working to restore the historic Fort Lowell Cottonwood Lane - first established during the 1870s. The image is a sketch by Charles Bolsius of the cottonwoods that once defined this landscape.
A small but meaningful step toward restoring the character of this place.

This striking Dale Nichols illustration from the March 1952 issue of Magazine Tucson captures the rugged beauty and bold energy of the Sonoran Desert—a world of cowboys, wide-open landscapes, and endless adventure.

Much like this cover, the Charles Bolsius House reflects the artistic and cultural spirit of Tucson’s past, where craftsmanship, storytelling, and desert living intertwine.

Hand-carved by Charles Bolsius, these doors opens to a sculptural staircase leading to the dreamiest main bedroom. A desert hideaway steeped in history, art, and cinematic charm.
