The First Hittinger Block is a historic two-story building in Tucson, Arizona. It was designed in the Italianate style, and built in 1901.[2] It was named for Anton Hittinger, an investor who purchased the building in 1892 and erected other buildings around it.[2] It housed the Harry A. Drachman Shoe Company,[2] whose eponymous founder served in the Arizona Senate from 1923 to 1924.[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 12, 2003.[1]
