Prescott has many Victorian style homes and, perhaps because of that, has been called the most Midwestern-appearing city in the Southwest. Prescott has 809 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has named Prescott to its 2008 list, citing our "exciting city that blends the best of small-town hospitality with authentic western feel."  Prescott has been awarded the Preserve America Designation!

Surrounded by the largest stand of Ponderosa Pines in the world, Prescott Arizona is the kind of town that steals your heart the first time you see it. We offer a small town atmosphere with traditional small town values!
We call it "Everyone's Hometown!"

Prescott is also home to the downtown historical area known as Whiskey Row, until 1956 a notorious red-light district. In 1900, a great fire destroyed almost all of the buildings on Whiskey Row, including the 1891 Hotel Burke, advertised as "the only absolutely fireproof building in Prescott" By legend, the patrons of the various bars simply took their drinks across the street to the Courthouse square and watched it burn. At the time of the fire, the entire bar and back-bar of the Palace Hotel was removed to the square by the patrons as the fire approached, re-installing it after the gutted brick structure was rebuilt. This single city block has been the home of the St. Michael's Hotel (formerly the Hotel Burke) and the Palace Hotel since the late 19th century, along with other colorful purveyors of night-life.
