Styled with sophisticated modern minimalism, splashes of elegance and classic architectural flair, The Rubi draws upon its place in Arizona history to help you create a timeless story of your own.

The Rubi is a place steeped in Tucson history and culture.

Constructed in 1903 (when Arizona was still a territory), the two-story, Italianate Victorian revival-style home was built for Owen T. Rouse and his family. Rouse, originally from Kentucky and an attorney by trade, served as a Missouri state senator before heading west to Arizona in 1885. He served as an Arizona territorial district attorney and associate justice of the U.S. district court, both appointments by President Grover Cleveland. Rouse’s son, Charles Oma Rouse, also participated in Tucson history as one of three students in the University of Arizona’s inaugural graduating class of 1895.

The home was later owned and renovated by its namesake, Pete Rubi, a Pima County Supervisor and Justice of the Peace. After Pete passed there were various owners until it’s recent acquisition by Tucson locals, Colin Reilly and Rob Reilly.  The brothers are pleased to be able to make this unique property available for celebrations and special occasions.
