Wall of Casa Grande, Arizona (HWW)

This ancient "building" shows the effects of time and no upkeep. It was a major part of the culture that occupied the Arizona desert in and south of today's Phoenix.

Fortunately, a cover was built over it to protect from further damage.


The walls are made of adobe from the topsoil of the desert. It must have taken quite a large group of people to excavate, form the adobe "bricks" and then erect the walls of this structure.


If you are in Arizona, be sure to visit the National Monument.
