Joesler Village

The small collection of shops located at the corner of Campbell Avenue and River Road is named Joesler Village after famous Swiss American architect Josias Joesler. He was Tucson's most famous architect in the 1930's, '40's, and '50's and the shops named in his honor are an example of the timeless architecture of his style. Joesler was born in Zurich in 1895 and brought the romantic revival movement to Tucson. He was married in 1927 and he and his wife moved to Tucson to create a life together. His work can be seen throughout Tucson including buildings on Fourth Avenue, the Broadway Shopping Center, The Saint Philips Church and Plaza, The Ghost Ranch Lodge on Miracle Mile, and St. Michel's Church at 5th. His residential work can be seen in the Catalina Foothills Estates. The shopping plaza is one of the newer ones in Tucson and the buildings are similar to those found in an Old Mexican village. Shops include a bistro, an American Indian art gallery, an interior design business, several boutiques, and a Chinese restaurant. There are plans to expand the center and continue to add upscale shopping options for Tucson residents.
