Sam Hughes House

221 and 223 N. Main Ave.

The photo shows the north facing side of the house.
In 1868, when Sam and his wife moved in, it was a small adobe house that was soon enlarged to accommodate their 15 children.
Today the Sam Hughes house is a series of garden apartments.

La esposa era Atanasia Santa Cruz (1850-1934) y la casa también se llama de Milton B. Duffield (1810-1874), un policía racista a quien se le atribuye la frase que, en 1873, pronunció en frente del patíbulo erigido en Tucson para linchar a tres mexicanos:Sahuaripa, Córdoba y "Fichi" y un anglo : "you can hang a Mexican, you cant hang a Jew, you can hang a nigger, but you can´t hang a American citizen". Suponemos a quién se refería de los cuatro.
