Chief Surgeon's House - Jerome, AZ - a bed and breakfast that was once home to Jerome's chief surgeon

Chief Surgeon's House located in Jerome, Arizona was build for the chief surgeon of Jerome during 1916. The house with its full, rich history was placed on the National Historic Registry during 1966. The house is on Hill Street and the land was originally known as George W. Hull Homestead Tract.

Mr. Hill was an industrious man that had obtained the area that is now Jerome, Arizona and the mineral rights to the surrounding area. United Verde Copper met his asking price of a million dollars to purchase the area. They then built the Head Physician a home resembling a mansion and a new hospital. The facilities were both designed by Arthur Kelly.

Dr. Arthur Carlson moved in along with his family during the 1930's after the home had been a residence for the nurses for a number of years. The Chief Surgeon's House was the site of a number of parties held to create diversions for the area's workers. The mine closed during 1953.

The Company's agent and then members of the Jerome community used the home once the area mines closed. The house began to fall into a state of disrepair but is now restored to the original state.
