The Pioneer Hotel

Globe, Arizona

1906-2005

 

 

It was only in the spring of 2005 that I gained access to the upper floors of the Pioneer Hotel for the photographs displayed below.  On Sunday the 17th of July, 2005, the Pioneer was destroyed by fire. 

 

 

Photographs of the fire and the aftermath may be seen at: http://www.cedarhill.typepad.com/ The fire photo below was taken from the porch of the Cedar Hill B&B by my friend Linda. Click on the photo to see her page.

It is always a sense of loss when one of my places is lost. MY PLACES are borrowed places for photography: borrowed from the present owners; borrowed from the past.  I had been hoping to do a show of Globe photos in the Java Junction in August or September.  I had hoped to do may more photos in the Pioneer Hotel.
