If you are interested in art, architecture, or history, you’ll love the Bolsius House. It has been restored beautifully with additions of artwork and furniture made by Charles Bolsius, the same artisan that built it using burnt adobe bricks and components of old Fort Lowell and who intricately carved its doors.The house is a little quirky, as you’d expect from a historic structure. It’s difficult to figure out which light switches turns on which lights, and some of the door frames are barely over six feet, but those are small inconveniences next to the experience of discovering this unique and notable building.The house was spotless and the host accommodating.
