Artist's Description
Tucson, Arizona's second city hall was built in 1917 about the time the police department purchased their first motorcycle. The members of the department posed on the steps of the building, which was leveled in 1972.
The city hall is on view in "A Kiss Before Dying" shot in the blazingly hot summer of 1955 in several Tucson locations, including the Santa Rita Hotel, the University of Arizona and the Valley National Building on 2 East Congress a stone's throw from the Fox Tucson Theater across the street.

The 1956 release is available for viewing on Netflix.
