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.

Ghosts are said to be able to move through time. At the time of death the spirit of the deceased is liberated and allowed to move through spaces of time where he moved when he was alive. In Burma the ghost is only allowed to linger 7 days after burial before he is told he must move on into another life. The final prayer is said for those living and those that have passed over. The final prayer is said to liberate the soul so that it has no regrets or ties to this plane. It is a gift when the spirit is allowed to easily pass from this plane into the next plane of existance.

Ghosts Haunt An Old Adobe Home in New Mexico
Ghosts showing paranormal activity are haunting a 180 year old home in Cuchillo, NM. Cuchillo is located 12 miles from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, and eight Miles from Elephant Butte Lake, New Mexico's largest lake.
Josh Bond, owner of the old adobe home and several other old ghostly properties decided to auction the ghostly home off after mysterious noises and paranormal activity was confirmed by the West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society.
Built around 1830 the old adobe home has lots of history attached to it. Startled by rattling door knobs, and things falling off shelves for no apparent reason, Bond decided at first to pass the unexplained off by ignoring it. When the West Coast Ghost and Paranormal Society confirmed the same experiences when their cameras started to shake and a surprising voice appeared on their tapes. One of the investigators remarked on what a beautiful moon their was outside and the unexplained voice said, "I told you so".
The results were no surprise to Bond. "I have no doubt that I am not alone on these properties, yet, I stay a bit cynical in part to keep my sanity. I have to live here all the time and don't want to spook myself too bad," he said. The investigation yielded evidence of voices, shaking door handles, and footsteps when no person was present."
