An absolutely outstanding job! More historic American buildings should be restored as well vs. being demolishds or left to ruin. However, were it mine I'd also restores maybe 20 of the original number of rooms (40) and actually make half of the building a hotel again (I'd live in the other half) -- or maybe a B&B (except the top (3rd) floor is gone so maybe there's no space anymore for hotel rooms). If making it into a B&B at least it'd be a nice "out of the way" (never even heard of Jerome AZ!) vacation location. And that also would offer employment opportunities for locals who could be the B&B/hotel staff. -- BR

Look at all that have been traveling and trying to get back to nature. Or is it just me? Isn’t the “selfie world” finally passe?

We used to explore the Little Daisy hotel top to bottom in the 60s and 70s when it was an abandoned hulk. The head of the historical society told me it was originally built to accommodate the miners because of it's close proximity to the mine, but it wasn't popular with the miners and they used it little. The reason why is that the hotel was a distance from the town where all the bars and whore houses were located.
