HISTORICAL
 

Originally built in 1862 primarily as an office building with merchants on the ground level, the structure was partially burned in the “great fire” of 1875. The Washoe Club was relocated there on the 2nd floor to include an exclusive library, ballroom, and a private spiral staircase leading to the club rooms. The stair case located in the saloon is constructed as a free standing fixture and has no nails supporting it featured in Ripley’s believe it.
 

During this time, the former Crystal Saloon, F. Boegle’s Stationery Store, and George Douglass’s stock brokerage firm occupied the 1st floor.  Through the 20th century to the present various businesses including the Virginia Market, a restaurant, gift shops, an old time photo studio, and a spiritualist shop have  been leased at different times.
 

POTENTIAL

The V&T railroad is scheduled for completion by 2009 between Carson City and Virginia City. This is an excellent opportunity for conversion of the bldg. to a convention center, hotel, or like venue as a world class destination.  The saloon boasts a “crypt like” area in the rear which was originally used as a wine cellar, and  maintains a constant temperature of 50 to 55 degrees year ‘round. Included in the saloon are original chandeliers, paintings, and various accoutrements of the 1800s.  This property would qualify for grants through Save America’s Treasures http://www.saveamericastreasures.org/index.html,  and comparable funding.
