Source Caption: The International Hotel in Virginia City. Initially opened as a wooden one-story building in 1860 later there are add ons. The International Hotel burned down in the "Great Fire of 1875". A new International Hotel began construction the following year, and opened with 160 rooms on March 31, 1877. At six stories, the hotel was the tallest building in Nevada until a fire destroyed it in December 1914. So this photo is at least from 1877.
