Old Firehouse Plaza: Haunted History in Downtown Prescott

On July 14, 1900, Whiskey Row burned. The Great Fire consumed an entire block of saloons and businesses. The fire is long out, but the plaza holds on to what happened that night.

The Great Fire of July 14, 1900, is the defining event of downtown Prescott's history. The fire began in the O.K. Lodging House on South Montezuma Street, spread to the neighboring Scopel Hotel, and raced north through the wooden buildings along Whiskey Row. Its exact cause was never confirmed.
