Henry O. Jaastad, who designed the Arizona Hotel, was a renowned Tucson architect whose firm created more than 500 buildings around the city. The hotel was completed in 1917 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. A native of Norway, Jaastad became a U.S. citizen in 1908 and served as Tucson's mayor from 1933 to 1947. Documents filed with the National Register of Historic Places show that the original hotel had 36 rooms and six bathrooms and a screened sleeping porch.
