Tourist cabins at the Buckhorn Baths, an abandoned and (as of 2018) pegged-for-demolition historic motor lodge in Mesa, a small Arizona city that became one of sprawling Phoenix's many suburbs. The Buckhorn was a combination motel, spa, gift shop, and museum in the heyday of American two-lane automobile traffic; it was the legendary spa for the New York Giants, one of the first two major-league baseball teams to train in "Cactus League" games in Arizona each spring. (The Cleveland Indians were the other; both in the mid-1940s.) Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2018.
