Main Street, Jerome

Some drawings can be viewed full screen. Those with that option have a * by their titles. Left-click your mouse on these.

Entering Jerome shows the approach to Main coming from the valley.

Hotel Connor to the right, is newly restored. More info at connorhotel.com

Next to the Connor is, at left, the old P. O. Cigar Store. It is now rebuilt. Then, at right we have the Copper Shop and Nellie Bly. The Copper Shop has now become Nellie Bly II. Next in this row is the New State Motor Company * seen below. It also housed Selna's Market and now sports the Jerome Post Office. I drew this from life, but added features from old photographs, which were never from the same angle. The ramp was for autos to get to the repair area, a level below Main Street.

Back to the intersection, we have the long gone T. F. Miller Building as it appeared about 1900.

Whitten Printers

This is the same corner that is in the right side of the Miller drawing, but drawn from life with features (like the Bartlett Hotel) added from old photos.

Next, going down Main, is Clinkscales, * & Jerome Police Department

Jerome Park is across Main.

On down was Made in Jerome Pottery and the kiln. The four story has now been restored as the Sullivan Apartments The shell has become the Red Rooster.

Continuing on, this is Block Four, with the Boyd Hotel the nearest building. I've been told that three miners on different shifts rented each room and each had a locking dresser drawer.

Aurum is a new building and now the rest of the space between it and the two-story is filled with shops. I am very glad to have caught the abutments.

Here we look across the street to Flat Iron ~ Hotel Jerome. The Hotel now houses the fabulous Jerome Artists Cooperative Gallery, where the artists are the salespeople. Check it out at jeromeartistscoop.com

Recognize the Annex at the right side of this drawing of the Central Hotel which is opposite our Cooperative. Looking another direction we have a view of Clark Street Elementary School. Below is this angle of the school.

Across from the Flatiron is the Central Hotel Annex. *

Turning around (and dropping back six + decades) we see Flat Iron Building which is now the Flat Iron Cafe, the best coffee and wonderful food.

The drawing at left, Arizona Hotel, has the same two buildings that are in the Speakeasy, above. The story is that when the top two floors needed repair, the owners tore them off.

We end this stretch with Garcia's House. * Check it out at ghostcityinn.com.

Headframes shows the uptown nicely framed with the old redwood rig at left and the new metal one at right.
