The Gadsden Hotel is the stuff of legend and history. It opened in 1907, before Arizona became a state. It later was damaged by fire, reopening in 1929 as an early 20th Century Art Nouveau showplace. I made this image from its entrance. The ornate supporting column at right is clad in gold leaf, a classical statue looms ahead of us, while the curving entrance opening echoes one of the lobby’s curving chandeliers.
