TinTown, formerly known as the H&W Market in the Pie Allen Neighborhood, was born in 1982, when Pat & Gary purchased the original General Store market as a residence. Within just a few years, the Historical Society awarded Tin Town the restoration and creative adaptive reuse award. Once the home was initially purchased, the surrounding land was acquired. Using design elements unique to the southwe
st, and recycled materials, the Western Mining town started to blossom. With an emphasis on historic integrity, and attention to detail that is second-to-none, Tin Town is an expression of the owner’s lighthearted yet respectful thought of the lost ingenuity of the craftsmanship of the tools and machinery of the old west. Tin Town greets visitors street side with 4,000 lb pulley wheels, a Mexican jail house door and other interesting items. With prime location, one block south of the University of Arizona and four blocks from several shopping areas great restaurants and theaters, year round visitors and repeat travelers choose Tin Town for their one-of-a-kind getaway. Tin Town has been featured on 3 television shows, Extreme Homes (HGTV), Weird Homes (Discovery) and Arizona Illustrated, and received the 2006 DIY Design Award from Tucson Home Magazine. Tin Town is nestled close to the University of Arizona and downtown Tucson.
