Boys On The Side Movie Location

[Pat Kearns]

Last night HBO played the movie Boys on The Side with Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore, and Mary Louise Parker. I was at Tumacacori when they had the outside of the church ruins decorated for a festival scene in the movie. There is one scene in the movie that featured a small adobe building with the front that looked like the bleached skull of a longhorn. Some of the movie was shot in the Tucson area and the next time I head to Tucson I would like to try and find the place. Hopefully it wasn't just a quick stage set. Anyone know if it exists and can give me it's location? Thanks.

Pat, south of Tumacacori on the frontage road west of the highway.

I think about 15 miles or so south. It's near Amado.

If I recall correctly, it faces west, so the best light might be in the evening or under overcast conditions.
