Virginia City, 1866

This view looks southeast across C Street in Virginia City, in 1866. It was photographed from up high on the International Hotel (seen here). In the foreground you can see the W.H. Burrall Pioneer Book Store, and Tho. Hanbridge, Gas-Fitter and Plumber. In the background is the Episcopal Church. In 1875, everything seen here burned to the ground.

This is #715 in the Lawrence & Houseworth Collection.
