Laura's mother Mrs. Melena Metzler, was the manager of the Mountain View House, a hotel in the early days of Jerome. This site, next to the historic Boyd Hotel, housed a two-story frame building in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Businesses included George Bagnall, The Shoe Maker, Merrill's Barber Shop and some dressmaking parlors. The park has been shared by local artists as an art park since the mid 1980's.
