An absolutely outstanding job! More historic American buildings should be restored as well vs. being demolishds or left to ruin. However, were it mine I'd also restores maybe 20 of the original number of rooms (40) and actually make half of the building a hotel again (I'd live in the other half) -- or maybe a B&B (except the top (3rd) floor is gone so maybe there's no space anymore for hotel rooms). If making it into a B&B at least it'd be a nice "out of the way" (never even heard of Jerome AZ!) vacation location. And that also would offer employment opportunities for locals who could be the B&B/hotel staff. -- BR

I would have turned it into a condo building. There is a market for one- and two-bedroom units just about everywhere. And such units are easy to sell compared to an eight-bedroom mansion in rural Arizona that must cost a lot to heat in winter and cool in summer.

[@WildWestRealtor]

That is definitely possible with this building. The owners who renovated it planned on it being their private forever home, but the husband passed away just 6 months after completion, so that's why it ended up being for sale.

[@jakckt]

Wow. Nicely done 😮 Seems sad that it sold for just 1.9 million in 2020 after being listed for 6.2 million for over two years. Bad timing I guess.

[@WildWestRealtor]

I know!!! It should have sold for sooooooo much more! Tough sell though in that little ghost town!

[@KactusKM]

It should be able to make Jerome even more of a destination spot! Would take some classy advertising and focus on historical preservation and so much history has to offer, to appreciate. Gee, something new for the those who have eliminated history and its value from the mainstream. I do believe people are starving for this kind of appreciation and such value brought back to life. Look at all that have been traveling and trying to get back to nature. Or is it just me? Isn’t the “selfie world” finally passe? Getting back to true history and experiencing the richness and vibe of it all rather than ignore it and take a selfie and move on. THIS place deserves expression and appreciation. ❤❤❤

We used to explore the Little Daisy hotel top to bottom in the 60s and 70s when it was an abandoned hulk. The head of the historical society told me it was originally built to accommodate the miners because of it's close proximity to the mine, but it wasn't popular with the miners and they used it little. The reason why is that the hotel was a distance from the town where all the bars and whore houses were located.
