The New York-born Rockfellow visited the 1915 San Diego California-Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which influenced her design style. Rockfellow buildings relied and were inspired by regional styles, including Pueblo Revival and Spanish Mission Revival.
She created some of Tucson’s most prominent buildings, including Safford School, the Southern Arizona Bank and Trust Co. building, the Christian Science church, the Desert Sanatorium, the El Conquistador Hotel and La Fonda Buen Provecho Inn, and the Young Women's Christian Association building shown here at 738 N. Fifth Ave. in Tucson.
The Tucson Y moved into its new home on Fifth Avenue in 1930, one year after breaking ground. The YWCA hasn't owned it since 1986. That was the year it sold the building, which was in need of extensive renovations and becoming a financial drain on the organization's budget.
