About this postcard

A white stucco mission-style church with a stepped parapet, round window and arched entry stands behind a low brick wall and iron gate, with a flower garden of roses and other blooms in the foreground and desert mountains beyond. The printed caption names it St. Philip's In The Hills, Tucson, Arizona. The parish church was built in the 1930s in Spanish Colonial Revival style to designs associated with architect Josias Joesler, and it remains a landmark in Tucson's foothills.
