The station, also known as Robert Atkinson's Inn, was located near the Granite Dells, a geological feature north of Prescott, Arizona. The Dells consist of exposed bedrock and large boulders of granite that have eroded into an unusual lumpy, rippled appearance.
In 1874, Bob Atkinson, an army veteran in Arizona Territory, went to the Iron Springs District near Prescott, Arizona, to prospect. He located a claim or two, receiving squatter’s right to Iron Springs and additional acreage. Atkinson then moved cattle into the area and built a large two story house. As the road was completed from Prescott to Skull Valley, he opened a stage station for meals, change of horses, and lodging. A bar and grocery store were also added.
