Jerome Pictures Part II

Jerome Pictures II

We then went outside and took some pictures, they had signs showing what the building were and where they were located. Here are some of them.

The top building is the hospital, then there was a hotel, and then at the bottom is the jail.

This other picture ====>>>

shows the jail and the earth around it. Notice how the earth is cut. It seems that there was either some rain or an explosion and the jail (which had two prisoners in it at the time) slid down the hill. The two inside were not harmed, but the sheriff decided that they had had enough punishment and let them go. The jail is now a private residence.

We had lunch at the Jerome Grand Hotel, probably the only real hotel establishment in the town, with an old-fashioned elevator, and great restaurant. It was the United Verde Hospital when it opened in 1927, then it closed in the 1950's then it was converted into a hotel in 1996. Here is a view from the Asylum Restaurant.

After eating, we decided to check out some more of nature, and so went to Prescott National Forest and to Mingus Mountain.
