Sullivan Apartments. . Built in 1917, the first floor of this four-story apartment, housed the Independent Meat Company. A passage was built from the cooler of the meat company up to the apartments to allow cool air to pass into them. Originally there were nine apartments, three in the front and six in the back. Each front apartment had two Murphy beds, which in that time were newly invented. The building was furnished by Jerome's Miner Furniture Store. The total cost of the building and its furnishings was $25,000. In 1983 Richard Martin purchased the ruin from the Jerome Historical Society and completely rehabilitated it.
