Update as of last fall:

The Buckhorn Baths and Motel is now among the Mesa/Phoenix area's MOST endangered historical sites.

You guessed it....yep....the W word...WALMART looms on the horizon. AAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH Haven't they killed enough tiki restaurants?!? Must they take the Buckhorn TOO??

A lovely postcard image from the 50's, which shows how little this amazing place has changed:

I've found some information from this spring indicating that the Mesa city council is interested in preserving the Buckhorn, but you know how the world works...without money....ugh.

Anybody else know anything?
