Las Saetas is a Pueblo Revival commercial building in Tucson, Arizona, originally constructed as the Fort Lowell Post Traders Store in 1870 and serving as a store, saloon, and gambling hall. After the fort's closure, the structure deteriorated through successive uses as a farm headquarters and health ranch. The Dutch-born artist Charles Bolsius, along with Nan and Pete Bolsius, purchased and rebuilt the property in 1935 from its ruined adobe remains, transforming it into a romantic hacienda through meticulous hand-craftsmanship. The reconstruction featured hand-carved doors, exposed beams, carved corbels, adobe fireplaces, and hand-hammered tin work, exemplifying the finest Pueblo Revival architecture in the American Southwest. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Las Saetas stands in the Fort Lowell Historic District as a testament to the evolving cultural and economic landscape of Southern Arizona.
