These historic structures are identified by the Jerome Historical Society Plaque Project.[1] Jerome is a town in the Black Hills of Yavapai County, Arizona, founded in the late 19th century on Cleopatra Hill overlooking the Verde Valley. Jerome is located between the cities of Phoenix and Sedona. The town became a National Historic Landmark in 1967.
Not all structures within the district qualify as historic. This is because most are owned by private owners who retain the right to demolish or change the façade of the structure for commercial reasons. According to the National Historic Landmarks Program, listing a private property as a National Historic Landmark or in the National Register does not prohibit any lawful actions which may otherwise be taken by the property owner with respect to the property.[2][3]
The Jerome Historical Society maintains the structures identified with a plaque, along with museums and special projects. Miscellaneous items related to Jerome's history are also listed.[4]
