Sahara Motor Inn North Stone Avenue and 1st Street, Tucson

The Sahara is past its prime. Despite its exotic, far-away name, the building is decrepit and on the verge of demolition. The classification "motor inn" is a relatively older term, signifying that the Sahara may have had its heyday during the post-war "car culture" years.
