Description

Photograph of three women in a construction area.

At the beginning of the 20th century, aged pioneer miners could no longer work and had no place to live after contributing so much to Arizona’s economy. Their plight was answered by the first-ever, government-instituted retirement home, the Arizona Pioneers Home. On April 8, 1916, an addition was opened with capacity for 20 women. Source: Prescott Living Magazine: The Story of the Arizona Pioneers Home.

Handwriting on the back of the photograph is: "This is the same bunch taken the same day. The back ground is the Pioneers Home. This was taken in a derick skift. A piece of machinery they use to lift dirt and rock."
