About El Montevideo

One of Tucson's most architecturally distinctive midtown enclaves, El Montevideo was subdivided in 1930 on land beside the grand 1928 El Conquistador Hotel, drawing prominent architects and custom builders to what was then the eastern edge of the city. Set in the 3700–3800 blocks between Broadway Boulevard and 5th Street just west of Alvernon Way, the neighborhood is defined by native desert landscaping and an unusually intact concentration of Southwestern Revival architecture — Spanish Colonial Revival (the most heavily represented style, with fourteen examples), Pueblo Revival, and Sonoran Revival homes built from 1930 up to World War II, followed by an excellent run of postwar Modern and Ranch residences completed through 1961. Among the district's homes are designs by celebrated Tucson architects Josias Joesler, Roy Place, Arthur T. Brown, Frederick Eastman, and George Fanning. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1994 (with a period of significance running from 1930 to 1961), El Montevideo has no fee HOA — the volunteer El Montevideo Neighborhood Association handles preservation and planning — and residents sit minutes from El Con Mall, Reid Park, the Randolph Golf Complex, and the Banner–University Medical Center, with Broadway Boulevard and 22nd Street offering quick connections to downtown, the University of Arizona, and I-10.
