LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES
Once the largest hotel in Tucson, the El Conquistador was controversially demolished in 1968 and the site is now occupied by the El Con Mall.
This water tower, located across Broadway Blvd., is the only part of the hotel structure that still stands in its original location.
Other parts of the hotel structure were rescued for use elsewhere in Tucson:
The original porte cochere was incorporated into the entrance guard structure at the Rancho Sin Vacas development.
The copper dome from the roof of the hotel now rests atop the Casa Blanca shopping center at 6030 N. Oracle Rd.
