Bonelli House is at the corner of Fifth and Spring Streets in Kingman, Arizona, United States.[1] The house was built in 1915. It was evaluated for National Register listing as part of a 1985 study of 63 historic resources in Kingman that led to this and many others being listed.[2]

Construction

[edit]

George Bonelli built the house in 1915 with local Peach Springs Tuff stone from Metcalfe Quarry. The home is two stories, rectangular, and has a low hipped-roof with dormers. The veranda on three sides is supported by square wooden pillars. The decorative front center entry door has a transom and sidelights. The house features interior chimneys, doors and tall windows for ventilation. The stone walls are 18- to 22-inches wide, with lathe-and-plaster interior. The early plumbing and wiring is intact but has been brought up to code and many original furnishings remain. This is Anglo-territorial-style architecture well suited for the desert climate.

History

[edit]

This was the second home and built on the same property but not same location; the original home burned down in January, 1915. The family raised nine children and ran four businesses in the area. In Kingman, the Bonellis owned a large ranch, a general store and jewelry store; about 20 miles to the northwest, the Bonelli family owned and operated a general store and meat market in Chloride, Arizona.

The property belongs to the City of Kingman and is operated as a historic house museum by the Mohave County Historical Society. The Society also operates the Mohave Museum of History and Arts and the AZ Route 66 Museum.
