The city of Prescott, Arizona has a long and interesting history - and much of it is still here to be seen and enjoyed. We wanted to curate interesting and relevant information on that history, and in particular the historic bungalows you'll find here. More to come soon...

The National Register of Historic Places is run by the National Park Services and is considered the official listing of our nation's historic places worthy of preservation.
Here in Prescott, we have twelve districts which are included on the National Register of Historic Places:
Note: Just because a home is located in a historic district, does NOT mean that home is necessarily a listed property. It may have historic value but may not have been submitted for consideration to be listed individually. And that can be done at any time, providing that the home still has relevant historic features.
You can learn more about these districts here on the Yavapai County historic listing. There is also a Wikipedia page with some good information.

Porches & Cottages of Prescott
Charming. Lived-in. Full of soul. The cottages and porches tucked into our historic Prescott neighborhoods come in every shape and shade - some lovingly restored, others gently fading into their own stories. I’ve always been drawn to their scale, their detail, and the way they quietly reflect the lives lived within. |
If you'd like to join me as I stroll the streets of downtown, sharing this kind of small-scale charm, I’ve started sharing a new Notes series over on Substack:
