G. H. Sullivan Lodging House

In Kingman, AZ, the G. H. Sullivan Lodging House stands as a Colonial Revival building about a tenth of a mile off the old road. As its name says, it was built as a lodging house, a place where people rented rooms. It holds a National Register listing, and though the written record on it is brief, it is a pleasant stop on a Route 66 walk between downtown Kingman and its historic homes.

What is G. H. Sullivan Lodging House?

Colonial Revival buildings take their cues from early American architecture, with orderly fronts and classical trim. The style was widely used in the early twentieth century for homes and small public buildings alike.

A lodging house rented rooms rather than whole homes, and buildings like this were once common in towns where workers and travelers needed a place to stay. The record does not say when this one was built or who G. H. Sullivan was, so enjoy it for its design and its role in the street scene.

Visiting G. H. Sullivan Lodging House: tips

View the building from the sidewalk and treat it as private property unless signs say otherwise. A few minutes is plenty.

The J. B. Wright House is about a tenth of a mile away, and the Max J. Anderson House and the old United States Post Office are both about 0.2 miles off, so they combine into a short walk through town.
