点评:"Copper Queen Plaza" is the name of the small indoor shopping mall across the street from the Bisbee Mining Museum. The building is historical, as it was, originally, Mary Crossey's General Store, and then, after being purchased in 1886, it became the Copper Queen Store. Later, in 1939, the Phelps Dodge Mining Company, rebuilt it as a Mercantile Store for the town. The building’s Streamline Moderne style was decidedly fashionable in 1939, and was designed by the Phoenix-based architectural firm Lescher and Mahoney.
The area has been subdivided into shops and restaurants, and is fun to browse through. The Restrooms are upstairs, (there is an elevator), and from the upstairs mezzanine, one can really appreciate this building. We, always, spend at least five minutes, leaning on the railing, and looking at those lovely copper lamps, hanging from the ceiling. The coffee roasters are upstairs, so, there is always that lovely smell of freshly roasting coffee.
Downstairs, there is a lovely bookshop, with many local features. There is, also, a very nice Gift Shop. At one end is the Bisbee Table (our favorite restaurant in Bisbee), and at the other, is the Bisbee Coffee Company, which not only sells their coffee, but has a cafe (with outdoor seating) attached.
When we were there on Tuesday May 3, it was not a very hot day, and they had the air conditioning on, so, it was a bit chilly inside. This is a really nice place to visit, when in Bisbee.
翻译:“Copper Queen Plaza”是Bisbee Mining Museum 街对面的小型室内购物中心的名称。该建筑具有历史意义,最初是 Mary Crossey's General Store,然后在 1886 年被购买后成为 Copper Queen Store。后来,在 1939 年,菲尔普斯道奇矿业公司将其重建为该镇的商品商店。该建筑的流线型现代风格在 1939 年绝对流行,由位于凤凰城的建筑公司 Lescher and Mahoney 设计。
该区域已细分为商店和餐馆,浏览起来很有趣。洗手间在楼上(有电梯),从楼上的夹层楼,可以真正欣赏到这座建筑。我们,总是,至少花五分钟,靠在栏杆上,看着那些挂在天花板上的可爱的铜灯。咖啡烘焙店在楼上,所以,新鲜烘焙的咖啡总是散发着迷人的香味。
楼下有一家可爱的书店,有很多当地特色。还有一个非常不错的礼品店。一端是 Bisbee Table(我们在 Bisbee 最喜欢的餐厅),另一端是 Bisbee Coffee Company,该公司不仅出售咖啡,还附设一间咖啡厅(带户外座位)。
我们5月3日星期二去的时候,天气不是很热,而且他们开着空调,所以里面有点冷。在 Bisbee 时,这是一个非常值得参观的好地方。
