Cool shot!!
Are there prairie dogs/desert rats on top of the building? I see one stretched out eating from the tree and another peeking over the roof.

Across the road from the first photo was:

Spent a lot of time all around there as a kid (my family is all from Bisbee), as well as Charleston, Fairbank, St. David and Benson.
My brother and his buddy were digging a privy in Charleston and found a gold pocket watch and chain years ago.
