Jerome Relocation Center
Interpretation
Figure 7.31. Historical monument at Jerome.

The relocation center site is commemorated by a 10-foot-tall granite
boulder monument along the east side of U.S. Highway 165 (Figure 7.31).
In 1992, John Ellington gave his permission for construction of the
monument and also indicated that he would not remove the hospital boiler
house smokestack, now a local landmark. However, the smokestack is in
need of stabilization, since it has begun to deteriorate. Although the
relocated center site is on private land, the Ellingtons have allowed
visitors to see the remaining features, and are a wealth of
information.
