When you enter the property know that you are now within a historic venue Stillwell House has been an integral part of Tucson, Arizona and the Downtown Arts District since 1901. When it was built by James Twiggs, an Irish Innkeeper, and his wife, Lucy Stillwell-Twiggs, a boarding house for railroad workers. The house fell into disrepair in the 1980s, when it endured two fires that charred the facade and damaged the internal structure while vacant. A local couple purchased the building in 1988 with the hopes of turning it into a sheet music store and performance space. While the facade was salvageable, the interior was not, leading to renovations that were completed in 1990, when the house opened for bookings. In 2000, the house was purchased by the Flores family of the famed El Charro Café after their search for a unique site for a family wedding. Now owned and operated by Candace Flores Carrillo, a certified Wedding Planner who brings more than 25 years of Catering and Event Design expertise. Stillwell House is truly a family-owned and operated event site. Candace’s mother, Chef Carlotta Flores, is at the helm of the acclaimed in-house catering company - Stillwell Catering Co. Candace’s Aunt, Wilma Levine, is the incomparable General Manager.
