    logo_jeromechamberJerome AZ (May 6, 2019) – The Jerome Chamber of Commerce is preparing its yearly exploration of the back streets of this historic mining town with the 54th Annual Home and Building Tour. Save the dates of May 18 – 19, 2019 for a look at some totally renovated gems in the mile-high town. Guests will be driven by shuttle on some very interesting Jerome winding roads that most people have never even noticed.

    This year’s tour will include The Radio House, originally owned by Gussie and Harry Mader and built in 1919. The Maders were ham radio operators and there are artifacts from this hobby imbedded in the walls of this charming miners shack. Visitors are in for a special look back in time to life in the mining town and the simple architecture and lifestyle of Jerome. There will be a 600’ walk down a private road to get to the home so come prepared with comfortable walking shoes.

    The tour continues to The Reber House, built by a mining executive for his bride in 1917 and now completely renovated by a couple from California. Most of the masterful work was done by the man of the house who is a skilled craftsman and was born in Jerome. Continuing to The Teacher’s House, this 1928 home has been continually occupied by teachers. It was selected for the HGTV show Boomtown Builder and is beautifully updated and reworked to fit the lifestyle of the 21st century.

    Continuing down the hill to a garden section of town, the Gutierrez House has just had a major change and now has a second story master suite, some quirky surprises and a fabulous garden.

    For a modern look at Jerome, The Kinsella Home will be on tour for the second time in ten years, now reworked into the ultimate mancave but with the original spectacular million-dollar views.

    The tour is completed at the sub-basement of The Sullivan Hotel for a look at an amazing piece of history. We will be showing the 1915 Boiler which was state of the art at the time.

Free for children under 3. There will be lots of steps and walking so come prepared for an adventure. First Tour starts at 9am and the last tickets of the day are sold at 3pm.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
