The Original Prescott Real Estate!

The Arthur Robinson residence, built in 1899 is a well-preserved example of the late Queen Anne Style. (115 N. Grove)

The Arizona Territory's first offical residence, still on the original site, was built in 1864 to house the newly appointed Territorial Governor, John N. Goodwin and the Secretary of the Territory, Richard McCormick. This structure stands on the grounds of the Sharlot Hall Museum.

On the Courthouse Square at the corner of Cortez and Gurley, the Wells Fargo Bank, built in 18xx, houses the Prescott Chamber of Commerce.

This 1900 residence was built and occupied by the last Territorial Governor, Richard E. Sloan. It may be the best example of Georgian Revival architecture in Prescott. The beveled glass at the entry is especially beautiful. (128 N. Mt. Vernon)

The 1895 Sacred Heart Catholic Church is a fine example of a late Gothic brick structure.(208 North Marina)

The John M. Robinson home at , built in 1900, is an important example of the style and workmanship portraying the aesthetic effect desired by 1900 Prescottonians. (204 N. Mt. Vernon)

Originally located on Granite Creek. Fort Misery was one of the first buildings erected in Prescott in 1864. Once little more than a lean-to built by Manuel Ysario for use as a general store, the house later belonged to Judge John Howard who dispensed "misery" to those found guilty of crimes. This structure also stands on the grounds of the Sharlot Hall Museum.

The Fredericks residence, large enough to accomodate a ballroom upstairs, was built in 1902 at a cost of about $10,000.

The E.W. Willis residence was built about 1878. It has Gothic details in the elaborate brick chimneys and gables. (308 S. Cortez)

The Bashford House: When built in the mid-1870's, the house was a rather plain two-story dwelling. Several years later it was purchased by William C. Bashford and remodeled into one of Prescott's better Victorian homes. The house was moved to the grounds of the Sharlott Hall Museum in 1974 to save it from demolition.

The Marks residence, built in 1894, is distinguished by a round turret on the corner of the house and an encircling porch which complements the turret on the ground floor. (203 E. Union)
