Jerome historic streets

Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.

Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.

Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.

Jerome sits on Cleopatra Hill in Yavapai County, on State Route 89A between Cottonwood and Prescott. The town is roughly two hours north of Phoenix and twenty-five miles southwest of Sedona, at an elevation near 5,200 feet.

Jerome grew up around the United Verde copper mine on the flank of Cleopatra Hill. Buildings were stacked on the slope to stay close to the mine workings, which is why grades reach thirty degrees through the historic core.

Underground blasting at the United Verde Mine in the 1920s shifted the ground beneath the old jail, and the building slid roughly 225 feet downhill from its original foundation. It still rests below its first site today.

Jerome was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1967, recognizing the surviving copper-era streetscape. Fewer than 500 people live there now, down from a peak of about 15,000 residents in the late 1920s.

Jerome is often called a ghost town because the United Verde Mine closed in 1953 and the population collapsed, but the town never fully emptied. Artists, shops, and a small year-round community keep the historic core lived-in.

It carries well for that. The tile reads the town the way locals describe it, as a hillside of brick and switchbacks rather than a postcard. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note from the studio suits the recipient.

The earth tones and ironwork read well in Southwestern, Mountain-modern, and warm Industrial rooms. It also sits comfortably in a Maximalist gallery wall alongside other Arizona pieces or copper-toned art.

Above a standard sofa, the Large covers the wall on its own. For a longer console or a larger living room wall, a four-tile Mural reads as one composition. A nine-tile Mural anchors a full feature wall.

Yes. Order the Dura Satin or Matte finish for vertical installations near steam or splash. The Glossy finish is meant for framed wall pieces in drier rooms.

A microfibre cloth and plain water handle ordinary dust and fingerprints. For a kitchen or bathroom install, the same cloth and a mild non-abrasive cleaner are enough; the colour lives in the surface and will not lift.

Yes. The Jerome piece is part of Reid Wender's Arizona series, made and hand-finished by a single studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. There is no outside licensing and no other manufacturer carries this work.
