  • Florence, Arizona Home Tour- February 2018- Part 8

    December 8, 2020 /

    While on the way to my next stop on the tour, I walked by another stop on the tour: The Silver King Hotel. It’s current name is the Silver King Marketplace because the hotel no longer serves as a hotel. The inside was converted into store space and has the capacity to hold four stores. I decided not to go inside because it was very busy that day.

    After visiting the Clarke House, my legs began to get tired from all the walking, but I wanted to see the next house on the tour. I don’t remember the name of the house, but it is located across the alley behind the the Clarke House.

    The next stop was the Clarke House. It is located on Main Street and currently serves as the location of the Florence Reminder Blade Tribune, the town’s newspaper. It was a long walk from the Catholic church, but at that time I wanted to force myself to walk more for exercise. Since it is where the newspaper’s office is located, I didn’t take many photographs of the outside of the building and none of the inside of the building.

    Right beside the Assumption of the Virgin Mary Parish Church is the Gila Chapel. Many years ago, the Gila Chapel was restored and used for mass during the weekdays. I haven’t been inside the chapel since it was restored. The Gila Chapel was another stop I wanted to see while on tour, so right after I finished looking at the main church, I went to the Gila Chapel to see what it looks like today.

    Down the street from my previous stop on the home tour was my next stop: Assumption of the Virgin Mary Catholic Church. It is always on the home tour and I couldn’t wait to go inside. It’s been many years since I went inside the church and I was curious to see how it looks.

    Not very far from the last stop was my next stop, tour stop 2. I don’t remember the official name of house, but it is currently used as a private home. Because it is a private home, I decided to not take photographs while inside the building.

    After visiting the Second Pinal County Court House, I went to the next stop, tour stop 11. The name of the building is the Jacob Suter House and is located near the corner of N Pinal Street and 8th Street. It used to be a home but it is now used as a studio for artists in the community. During the tour, there were artists working inside of the building painting, drawing, and sketching. Even though the public was allowed to look at all the artists and their work, they weren’t allowed to photograph them while they work. Because of this, there isn’t very many photographs of this building and…

    Back in February 2018, I decided to go to the Florence, Arizona Home Tour. I wasn’t that fond of going on the home tour that year, but I forced myself just to see what it’s like, what’s changed, and how the home tour was that year. Although this home tour happened two years ago, I never posted the photographs I took while on tour. There are many reasons why I never posted them, but after letting the photographs sit in my computer for years, I decided to finally write some posts about each stop I went to on the tour as well as everything I can remember from each stop.…

    Well, this is the last post with all the photographs I took of Florence, Arizona on February 17, 2018! I’m so happy these posts are done because they have weighed on my mind and emotions for some time. I’ll go into that at the end of this post. But for now, here are the rest of the photographs of Main Street!

    I’m almost done with my posts of the Main Street area in Florence, Arizona! Although I have one more post after this one, I’m so happy to finish this series. Trying to remember everything I did on that day two years ago is frustrating. It wasn’t a very exciting day (The street was pretty dead because it was a Sunday) and all I really did was take photographs and go home. Anyway, onto part 2 of the photographs I took of North Main Street! All the photographs in this post are around the street corners of 6th Street and Main and Ruggles Street and Main.
