House of Joy - Jerome, Arizona

If there is one place in Jerome, that really stood out, it would have to be the House of Joy. A fasinating and unique brothel inspired shop with so many whimisical and old time items and novelties that would almost take a half a day to fully experience. The lady that owned the shop said it had been open for about 4 years, and since its beginning in the late 19th century first served as a brothel to serve the growing mining towns needs, after so it was dormant, and over the years was a home, restaurant, general store, and a variety of things. Interesting how it returned (somewhat) to its original purpose. The shop was very tasteful, and had a good collection of items from the last century ranging from old russian military recruitment posters to watches, old labels and buttons, and of course any type of sex oriented novelty from your grandparents years. Its a definate must see in this town for a fun trip back in history.
