DOUGLAS, Cochise County, Arizona - Douglas Police Department: Built in 1914 as the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad Depot, this massive building was remodeled as police headquarters in 1992. The front doors lead into a rotunda, which is the only part of the building readily accessible to the public. The ceiling of the rotunda is a large, stained glass skylight. Some of the glass panels were missing. Beautiful marble columns and wood railings encircle the second floor of the rotunda. - Police Dept Plaque: This is the dedication plaque on the front of the police headquarters building. It states that the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. - Police Dept Welcome Sign: Welcome sign out front, put up by the Chamber of Commerce and Mines. The sign says, "Rest! Relax! Refresh! in this friendly city in the heart of the old west. Maximum sunshine, ideal elevation, low humidity. Welcome for a day or a lifetime!" - Ramada at Park: This park is at the corner of H Ave & 3rd St. - Veteran's Memorial Park: This park is at 8th St & Florida Ave. - Small park: This small park is on G Ave across from the Gadsden Hotel. The second photo is a closer look at the wall mural, which includes a road map of the county. - West Side Recreation Center: The rec center is on Pan American Ave. - Douglas-Williams Home Museum: Douglas was founded in 1901 and incorporated in 1905. The city is named after its founder, Dr. James Douglas. Dr. Douglas was superintendent of the Copper Queen Mining Company in Bisbee. In 1899 he decided that the area that was to become Douglas was the perfect area for a new smelter. While photographing the museum, I was approached by a walking piece of Douglas history. The gentleman introduced himself to me as Henry Beumler. He is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and was the mayor of Douglas for the entire decade of the 1950s. LTC Beumler was born in Douglas in 1913. He became a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army in 1934 and was called to active duty at Fort Huachuca, AZ, in 1942. LTC Beumler retired from the Army in 1973. During his career, he also earned a law degree. At the time this photo was taken, his current place of residence was Portal, AZ. - Gadsden Hotel: The twin towers of the Gadsden Hotel have been a Douglas landmark since 1929, when the hotel was rebuilt following a fire that leveled the original 1907 structure. The Gadsden is known as "the last of the grand hotels" and as soon as you step into the lobby, you understand why. A solid white Italian marble staircase dominates the lobby, along with an authentic 42-foot Tiffany stained glass mural. At the top of the stairs, in the center of the Tiffany mural, is a large original oil painting by Audley Jean Nichols. In the lobby are four marble columns that are decorated in 14K gold leaf at the top. Stained glass skylights run the full length of the lobby. Even the drinking fountains are tiled frescos. - Tile murals: These colorful murals of people are made from ceramic tile. - Port of Entry: International border crossing between Douglas, Arizona, to Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico. - Agua Prieta, Mexico, clock tower: This building is just across the border in Agua Prieta. I think it may be their city hall, but I'm not sure. - Agua Prieta, Mexico, night club: I thought the design of this building was quite interesting.
