Pioneer Livery Museum

The Pioneer Livery stable in Virginia City housed a museum of old wagons and carriages. The stable was at the corner of Taylor and B streets. This was on the site of William Mooney's Livery Stable. The Great Fire of 1875 started at a boarding house right next door, and this livery stable was one of the first buildings to burn. It was rebuilt, and the second version was demolished in the 1920s. This is the third stable on this site.
