History

Established in 2009.

Tinderbox is located in the Jimenez Building, built in 1931 by Dionisio Jimenez. It is one of the earliest remaining commercial buildings on S. San Francisco St. One side was first operated as a candy store and the other side as a Spanish Kitchen. The Martinez family purchased the building in 1948 and operated the Martinez Grocery Store in the space for many years. They still own the building today. Just behind the Tinderbox, is the remains of a handball court constructed in the 1920s. It was located adjacent to a boarding house known as Jesus Garcia's Tourist Home, now our breakfast and lunch restaurant. It served a population of Basque immigrants (an ethnic group from northern Spain) who came here as sheep herders. The handball court (or pelota) was an important part of every Basque community. This court is the only remaining court in the state of Arizona.
