This is the historic 1916 Grace Dodge building named named after the wife of Phelps Dodge mining Tycoon. She was a philanthropist and she opened up this building as the first-ever YWCA in existence anywhere ever
This building is still open today and is used as a affordable income residence. And it also houses The Bisbee Fiber Arts Guild. And it is also available to rent for Meetings & Conferences. And there is great historic value in this building it is 4 stories above ground and one story Underground. One of the true historic landmarks in the United States of America

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisbee,_Arizona
Bisbee is a city[5] in and the county seat of Cochise County[6] in southeastern Arizona, United States. It is 92 miles (148 km) southeast of Tucson and 11 miles (18 km) north of the Mexican border.
Bisbee was founded as a copper, gold, and silver mining town in 1880, and named in honor of Judge DeWitt Bisbee, one of the financial backers of the adjacent Copper Queen Mine.
Today, the historic city of Bisbee is known as "Old Bisbee" and is home to a thriving downtown cultural scene. This area is noted for its architecture, including Victorian-style houses and an elegant Art Deco county courthouse. Because its plan was laid out to a pedestrian scale before the automobile, Old Bisbee is compact and walkable. The town's hilly terrain is exemplified by the old four-story high school; each floor has a ground-level entrance.
Natural vegetation around Bisbee has a semi-desert appearance with shrubby acacia, oak and the like, along with cacti, grass, ocotillo and yucca. The town itself is much more luxuriant with large trees such as native cypress, sycamore and cottonwood plus the introduced ailanthus and Old World cypresses, cedars and pines. Palms are capable of growing tall, but are not reliably hardy. At least one mature blue spruce may be seen.

Haiku thoughts:
Dusty streets wind tight,
Colors spill from old brick walls,
Echoes of the past.
