In the mid 1800s a St Augustine Cathedral was built at Church and Broadway and was used by Arizona's first bishop. In 1897 a new cathedral was built where the current cathedral is now. The doorway was stored and nearly thrown away but it was rescued and is now the focal point of the facade of the Arizona Historical Society Main Museum in Tucson Arizona.
