Mystery Picture - where was "A Modern Home, 1911" ???
Hi All,
I'd be really surprised if this one is still standing. If it is, I've got to get a current picture to compare to the 1911 version. If you are viewing this message as an e-mail and would like to see the picture, look for a clickable link at the bottom of the message which will lead back to the Group. I'll post the picture on the Group's home page until the mystery is solved. After that, the picture will be filed under Mystery Pics in the Photos section. Thanks for all your help, Carlos P.S. I think we've solved the mystery of "Snob Hollow", but I'm not certain we've actually identified the actual house in the picture. I know the picture is tiny, but Hughes House appears to have different architecture. P.P.S. Thanks for the correction on the Grotto (see previous message). The website is fascinating. Can't wait to visit San Xavier with a whole new perspective. |
Re: Snob Hollow
I was just playing around on-line and you're right, the area around the
Manning House, etc. is the Snob Hollow area. --- In vanishingtucson@..., "scynder" <cynder32az@a...> wrote: I've heard and know some older ladies that still call an area 'SnobThose old well built homes for those few blocks.

Re: Snob Hollow
I've heard and know some older ladies that still call an area 'Snob
Hollow'. These ladies grew up here, born in the early-mid 40's. They say it is the neighborhood where you take Oracle Rd. south where the name changes twice to Granada Ave. Its south of St Mary's/6th toward the TCC/Downtown, till Alameda, and possibly to Congress. Those old well built homes for those few blocks. I think some are law offices now, and some home were taken down for parking garages. Is this the same area where the bones were recently uncovered? Not sure if this is the same 'Snob Hollow' as in the picture. But it is still for some. What year is the picture? Hope you are all having a good day! Sandra |
Re: Mystery Picture - where was/is "Snob Hollow" ???
This looks like the area around El Con Mall. When I was growing up in
the late 50s, early60s, we always referred to that area of homes as the "rich man's area." Not many people were up in the foothills yet. Thelma --- In vanishingtucson@..., "mistercopacetic" <mistercopacetic@y...> wrote: Hi All, |
"Mansions of Main Street"
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý????????????????????
Along north Main Street, developers transformed former farmlands
into
?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? a neighborhood elite enough to become known as "Snob Hollow," a ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? name easier to say and remember than its official designation, the ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Goldschmidt-Manning addition. Sometimes referred to as the ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "Mansions of Main Street," these pot-railroad era homes displayed the ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? full range of Victorian decoration. Other areas of elite homes appeared ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? on Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth avenues. ?

A few Snob Hollow houses
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý?
Info on a few homes in Snob Hollow. I think the Hughes House might be the
one in the picture. What do you think? Look at the little palm trees just
growing in the pics.

Mystery Picture - where was/is "Snob Hollow" ???
Hi All,
Happy Monday. I'm dying to find out anything about the above location. Great name. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Carlos P.S. Re: Previous mystery picture "The Grotto"... I thought the grotto down near patagonia is smaller, and you have to walk up a narrow pathway to get to it. The Mystery Picture showed a large flat area large enough to park a car. It's in the Photos section if you want to look at it again. Next time I'm there, I'll take pictures to compare. |
Re: The Grotto
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI found a pic matching the pic of 'The Grotto'. It is at the San Xavier
Mission. A replica of Grotto of Lourdes, France. See top pic after you follow
the link.

I happen to live in the fight path. It's not the noise so much that bothers me, it's the jet fuel that must come raining down on my house several times a day since they fly so low overhead. I used to live on the south side, and moved the to the east side to get away from the planes. Then they started to fly over my house several times a day within the past couple years. So they keep following me! haha. Bjay Joanna Strohn wrote: My mother was present at the Food Giant when the plane crashed. --

Re: Plane crash?
Joanna, Your comment about being in the flight path brought back lots
of memories. My Pre-teenager years I grew up on Miles St. and Highland, played a whole bunch the the area around Arroyo Chico, but I remebmber the planes flying over my house all the time, especially the B-36 Peacemakers. The whole house shook when those flew over. Jim |

Hi All,
I know this is going back quite a while, but I'm totally stumped. I don't know what it was, where it was, or what happened to it. Thanks in advance for your help. Carlos P.S. Thanks Bob, for placing the KOA campground. I remember it now. Gotta lova an A-frame! |
