Description

"The Queen's Garden" is a painterly photograph of a flowerpot laden stairway to the elegant Surgeon's House and Queen's Garden, in historic and picturesque Jerome, Arizona. Formerly an active mining town, Jerome almost became a ghost town. It is now a bustling semi-ghost town and artists colony that tourists flock to.

Built in 1916 for Jerome's Chief Surgeon, this home has been on the National Historic Registry since 1966. The property, on Hill Street in Jerome, was originally the George W. Hull Homestead Tract. Mr. Hull was 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 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.

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 and garden fell into disrepair over the years, but has now been lovingly restored to its former beauty as a bed and breakfast. The gardens, unique rooms and decks, rich wood floors, and the chauffeur's quarters have all have been beautifully restored by Andrea Prince.

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