Surgeon's House in Jerome, Arizona

Andrea Prince would like to invite you to visit the historic old town of Jerome, Arizona and share in her informal and relaxed hospitality at the Surgeon's House Bed & Breakfast. "Love at first sight" is how Andrea would describe her feelings when she first laid eyes on this charming home, and she hopes you'll feel the same way. (Click on the picture of the house above and take a slide show tour of the downstairs.)

It's Spring and the growth and excitement just won't slow down!   We have just finished expanding our beautiful solarium on the south side of the house.    It is incredible!   Click here to see some photos.    A photo crew from the London Times Style Section came all the way here to shoot a six page spread for their Spring Fashion Section.     Of all things, it was a bikini shoot.  Take a look!     And, of course, the gardens are starting to explode in new and glorious blossums. See them here!    If you would like to read up on the latest developments at my house, check out the News Exchange Page    .

History

Built in 1916 for Jerome's Chief Surgeon, this home has been on the National Historic Registry since 1966,  and has a rich history.

Surgeon's House in Jerome, Arizona The property, on Hill Street in Jerome was originally the George W. Hull Homestead Tract.  Mr. Hull was far-sighted and industrious, and obtained what became the town site of Jerome, Arizona and much of the surrounding mineral rights. When major companies wanted his interests, his price was one million dollars. The United Verde Copper Company paid it.

On the site the Company built a new hospital and a virtual mansion for their Head Physician to live in.  Arthur Kelly, noted Los Angeles architect, designed both with arched windows, gleaming stucco, and rich red tile roofs.  All the modern comforts were included. 

Doctor Carlson

Used for years as the nurses' residence, in the early 1930's the house became home of the then Chief Surgeon, Dr. Arthur Carlson, and his family. Decorated with the finest, it became a warm and hospitable home. Parties were held to create a diversion for the Company's upper echelon from the hard work in this hard rock mining town.

After the closing of the mine in 1953, the house became home for the Company's agent, and later, other Jerome community members. Councilmen, mayors, merchants, geologists, policemen, even the local Jerome postmaster, all enjoyed the simple elegance of this house.

The house fell into disrepair over the years, but has now been lovingly restored to its former beauty. Andrea has located and exposed the core, the very essence of the integrity of this historic house. The gardens, unique rooms and decks, rich wood floors, and the chauffeur's quarters have all have been beautifully restored. So come and stay with us and become an ongoing part of history. As a poet once said, "History is a pattern of timeless moments." Experience that timelessness with us.

The Surgeon's House Bed & Breakfast in historic and picturesque Jerome, Arizona is a refuge for those who seek elegance in a rich, leisurely atmosphere, surrounded by peaceful settings and fantastic panoramic views.

And now, in partnership with the Jerome Historical Society, we are creating "The Oral History and Memories Project" . We have come to realize that what is forgotten is lost. We want to help to preserve the fascinating history of our town. If you, or someone you know, has stories about Jerome's history that you believe should be preserved, please here for more information regarding this work.
