Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...HDR-Edited in Topaz Studio

Built in 1898 by David Connor, the Connor Hotel of Jerome has a colorful past, ranging from the heights of luxury to the depths of squalor and back again. Originally designed with 20 rooms upstairs, this first-class lodging establishment also offered a barroom, card rooms, and billiard tables on the first floor. Rooms were rented on the “European plan” for the princely sum of $1.00 per night. The Connor’s telephone number was 8. The stone foundations were quarried from the hills around Jerome, and the brick was fired in nearby Cottonwood. It would burn down twice in it's first couple of years. The mines began to die and the hotel closed in 1931. It became a low end hotel in the 1960s and 1970s until it closed again in the 1980s due to safety concerns. Newly renovated, it is open again with ghosts and all. Guests may hear whispering and women laughing in Room 1. Objects move around on their own in Room 2. A ghostly dog growls under the door of Room 4.
