Bonelli House is at the corner of Fifth and Spring Streets in Kingman, Arizona.^[1] The house was built in 1915.

Construction[]

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.
