The faded Hotel Lewis lettering remains on the side of Tucson’s historic Julian-Drew Building. Built in 1917, the structure originally combined one of Arizona’s earliest indoor automobile showrooms downstairs with the Hotel Lewis upstairs. 03-07

Irish artist Fin DAC added the towering Vergiss mural to the wall in 2016, carefully leaving the old hotel lettering visible beside it.

UPDATE: The former hotel has been converted into apartments with businesses below. The Hotel Lewis ghost sign survives alongside the colorful mural. 09-26
