Description
Original Fine Art Photography and digital artwork by Donna Kennedy...
When you think of "The Flatiron" you probably think of the iconic building in New York City. But in Jerome the Flatiron Building pre-dates New York Citys Flatiron building by several years. The name Flatiron refers to an architectural design in the triangular shape of the heavy old flat irons that were once used to iron clothing. There are similar buildings across the country and Jerome is proud that this historic building still stands and functions today as a local business.
Jerome is a town in the Black Hills of Yavapai County in the State of Arizona. Founded in the late 19th century on Cleopatra Hill overlooking the Verde Valley, it is more than 5,000 ft above sea level. Jeromes history is full of stories. These stories tell how the Wickedest Town in the West got its name and how men who sought their fortunes in this billion dollar mining camp lived, played and fought. Once the fourth largest city in the Arizona Territory, Jerome boasted a population of nearly 15,000 on its hilltop haven. During its heyday, men and women from all over the world made their way to Arizona to find work and maybe a new way of life. Today, when you visit Jerome and its historic buildings, you are given an opportunity to take a step back in time, feel the past and experience life as it might have been in Arizonas rough and rugged days.
