Whiskey Row | Montezuma between Gurley & Goodwin
Block 13, known far and wide as Whiskey Row, was the most disreputable area in Prescott.
At one time, Prescott's Historic Whiskey Row was the home of 40 bars.
Between the 1860's and 1900, all of the buildings along Whiskey Row were constructed of wood.
In July of 1900, Whiskey Row was destroyed by an uncontrollable fire that swept down the Row in the late evening. (See Great Prescott Fire)
The bar inside the Palace Saloon, along with most of the liquor, was actually carried out by the patrons before the fire reached the establishment.
In an attempt to prevent another disastrous fire, all buildings constructed after 1900 were built of brick.
On May 8, 2012, Historic Whiskey Row experienced another major fire that destroyed three businesses and caused extensive damage to another. The damaged area is now an outdoor venue called the Holiday Courtyard.
