Starts with "J"
JEROME Grand Hotel AZ
Overlooking the Verde Valley, the hotel is one of the highest buildings in the area. Five stories tall, the building is made out of concrete.
Originally built as the United Verde Hospital in the late 1920s, stories of supposed spirits lingering around the property were reported early on.
Back in this era the town's main attraction was its copper mining business, which would eventually come to a close in 1950. For years the town would wither away, only to come alive again in the 1970s.

A cup of JAVA in Bantry Ireland
That hotel tho! Wow!
ReplyDeleteAnd Bantry. Last time I was there we are at the Stuffed Olive. Fabulous place. Owned by 2 sisters. Outside, I connected with so many strangers due to a play I had going at the time. Great memories. Thanks Jackie! And PS great classical concerts at Bantry House.

Jackie. L would never have dreamed a "junk" hotel even though I knew of junk boats. I think them being oriental, most times China.
ReplyDeleteWe had a Chinese hotel north of Houston for their emporer and high ups fortified for their safety in case their country got the worst end of a nuclear war. The building is still there but I'm not sure of its ownership. The change of friendly relationship has been dampened by our t r u m p. They sold a very large house on a large acreage to a church.
