Historic home in Tucson | Johnson Paperhanging LLC

Skip to content

This house was originally intended to be the first Governor's Mansion for the state of Arizona, architected by Henry Trost. History had other plans ... one was for me to install a beautiful damask from York Wallcoverings and tailor-fit the motifs to balance windows, doors, and the safe box. The crown follows the motif just perfectly.
