* Installing hitching rails and Spanish tile-covered store porches when such architectural features never existed within Tombstone
 
Historical buildings include [[Schieffelin Hall]], the opera house built by Al Schieffelin in 1881, and the Cochise County Courthouse. The courthouse was largely unused and then vacant after the county seat was moved to Bisbee. An attempt was made to turn it into hotel in the 1940s, and when that failed it stood empty until 1955. The Tombstone Restoration Commission acquired the courthouse and developed it as a histioricalhistorical museum that opened in 1959. It features exhibits and thousands of artifacts documenting Tombstone's past.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park|url=http://www.pr.state.az.us/parks/TOCO/index.html|publisher=Arizona State Parks|accessdate=26 May 2011}}</ref>
