Lopez Pool Hall in Patagonia, AZ, does not even come close to resembling what it looks like in this photo! Anyone seen it of late? Deteriorating rapidly. It deserves to be restored and enjoyed. Anyone Have any info on present ownership? This is only one of many in Patagonia deperately needing restoration! Just as Bisbee, Tombstone and other southern towns, rich in heritage.
ReplyDeleteMy mother now owns this after my father's passing a year ago. It is deteriorating rapidly and we don't have the funds to save it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried checking with the Historical Society? My boy and I come down to Patagonia fairly often 2-4 times a year. There are numerous structures such as the pool hall that are rich in history. I would like to have a history of the original building. What it used to be before the pool hall if anything else. It appears it might have been a boarding house/hotel from the looks of the smaller rooms attached. I hope you can get something worked out. Good Luck!
