Photos for Wikipedia

Thursday, September 29th, 2016

Every once in a while, I go on a binge of taking photos for some Wikipedia project. (You may remember the lake work.) This month, they had a contest to gather photos of places on the National Register of Historic Places. It was a good chance for me to explore some things I hadn’t seen (or hadn’t looked at closely) around Douglas and Bisbee.

Here are the results. (The last three photos were taken in earlier years.)

Douglas Airport

Douglas-Williams Home Museum, Douglas, AZ

Hotel Gadsden (now for sale — they say if they don’t sell soon, they’ll close.)

Grand Theater, Douglas, AZ

Douglas Post Office

El Paso and Southwestern Railroad Passenger Depot, Douglas, AZ

El Paso and Southwestern Railroad YMCA, Douglas, AZ

(This building was recently purchased and is being restored. That’s a lot of work!)

So if you’re planning a visit and want to time it around one of the fun annual events in Bisbee, I thought I’d post info and some dates.

The Bisbee Blues Festival is September 17, 2012.

And the Bisbee 1000 Great Stair Climb is October 12, 2012. (Let me know if you’re thinking about this one so I can train.)

These both seem a ways out, but summer and then fall (a nicer time to visit, really) will be here before we know it!
