Greatpicture. It looks like it was a expensive hotel on that time it was "alive". Great work.

Well, nice hotel but I think I'm not moving in at the moment, the barkeeper is on holiday :)

What a unique looking hotel. It really blends right into the surrounding. Thanks for sharing this history with us.

Anita, this is a wonderfully taken photo of a very fascinating place. The history is oozing here! Wouldn't it be grand to travel back in time and see all the people there?! You captured the surrounds beautifully, my friend! - Patty

Would'nt like to stay here!
Wonder what those 'walls' would have to say!
Crackin shot though..........

wow ! i want to see that hotel inside i bet - inside is very comfort ! Intresting really !

A great capture of this hotel Anita ... it looks so grand sitting on top of that hill surrounded by all that beautiful landscape. Thank you for sharing the history also. Very nicely done.

"Hotel Jerome" should be renamed "Spookville". You must be a real adventurer to find this place, Anita. Is this place as desolate as it looks? You mean to tell me it's 150 years old? Are there any signs of humanity nearby? And, finally, Where's the parking lot? Very interesting....Neil

What a Place to a hotel..Agree missydog 109,it should be renamed Spookville..I am thinking Stephen Kings Shining..Absolutely Superb Shot and a Superb history..Thank
You..

That was quite a place, sitting out in the desert. Nice work.

Feels a bit spooky indeed but I love the nostalgic feeling about this picture. Lost grandeur waiting to come alive again. Great shot.

It is a shame to see it derelict! I am sure if was really splendid in its hay day! Nice capture Anita - you captured the atmosphere as well as the picture! Patti

Great picture, i just do have something with old buildings wich are no longer in usage. well done.

The color ..the building ..the landscape ..oh my this is one fantastic shot Anita ..TYU

Quite a shot, Anita! I wonder if there are any ghosts. Even the surroundings look desolate. Thanks for showing this to us. I am always interested in things of the past.

Thank you all so very much for your wonderful input and comments. I am most appreciative. ;)

Very well done, Anita. I've been to Jerome, I think, and I kinda remember this place. Thanks for taking me back.

I've been there too, a long time ago, and as I remember it's very hard to get to..way up on Mt. Cleopatra (I kid you not) with an awful road...if you think this building is spooky you should see some of the rest of it!!! I'd love to do a series of that place...I've heard that it's become quite the place for artists to set up their easels..Maybe..someday I'll get back there. It's worth the effort to dig out the history..quite the fascinating story of an old copper mine...and this is a very nice pic of it, Anita...you've done it more than justice. Looks like they might have done some restoration work on it since I was there... :)PJ

Hello Anita, thanks so much for your kind words on "water's own art", I really appreciate it!
I really like this shot of yours, I love these old buildings and this one looks like it has grown there instead of build(lol), like the colours too, well done!
Have a nice day
Jacky

I would love to go exploring here Anita but I imagine they have it locked up tight. It still looks so beautiful and grand sitting on that hill. Maybe one day someone will reopen her.

It looks very alone... the old days... i think that we are going to miss those days....

Now That calls exploration...I'd see that with first instincts to venture over. I love the view you chose to catch. The colors seem to jusify the hotel...dead, yet somehow breathing (reminds me of 'Hotel California', haha).

Ari

What a wonderful motel you have captured and I like the design of the building. I like the the stone walls they created. and I also like the mountain that is in the background. Great work
Jason

Anita, I like the way you captured the hotel. It was a good angle and a well taken picture. It look like some place I would like to see someday. Nice shot.

Vic

Very nice photo here ... love the mountains in the background ... really make the hotel speak.... oh if it only could, the tails it would tell!

this just goes to show me, how little i've seen and how far i have yet to go... very nice capture...and i bet if the walls could talk, they say"....wash me" :P

Very nice picture. It will summon in its golden age, it was perhaps a beautiful hotel, now is unfortunately dilapidated.

What an impressive piece of architecture.. I can just imagine it being a busy retreat, people rushing in and out, horse carts pulling in to drop off and pick up people.. kids playing in the big well kept gardens.. Well done on a vert nice presentation, Anita..

This is a fun old hotel with great stairwells and such. I loved visiting Jerome. Thanks for the memories.

Learning more history..checked out some sites on Jerome. This image is quite interesting - is this hotel still used? The photo is well composed with good details. The hotels structure is fun to see, with its many windows and southwestern appearance. I'm sure it was a busy place at one time. That's a big hill behind it and the scenery is lovely.I appreciate this bit of Arizona history..thanks Anita :))
