Description
PAINTING BARRIO VIEJO by PRISCILLA BURGERS
An oil painter puts on canvas his rendition of an old building of the Barrio Viejo in Tucson, Arizona. Barrio Viejo means "old neighborhood" in Spanish. Also known as "Barrio Libre (Free)", this neighborhood was home to a culturally diverse community of people from America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Located in Tucson, Arizona, it is the largest collection of nineteenth century adobe buildings in the United States. While Tucson has grown significantly over the past century, the area now known as Barrio Viejo remains connected to its celebrated historic character. Its colorful architecture and vibrant commercial activity always defined it as a community with an abundance of character. Unfortunately, many buildings in the area fell into significant disrepair during the middle of the 20th century. The adobe construction common to this area and a wealth of detailed historic documentation allowed many of the neighborhood's oldest structures to be restored, rebuilt and re-imagined for a new century.
