Video Tour of Douglas, AZ
I stumbled across a video tour of Douglas, Arizona presented by “Visit Cochise County,” self described as “An Unofficial Visitors Guide to the ARIZONA towns and cities of Cochise County.”
The tour of Douglas shows the interesting early to mid 1900’s architecture. The home we have listed on 12th Street fits right in with some of the pictured residences.
The Gadsden Hotel is worth a visit if for no other reason than to see the forty-two foot long Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass mural.
