Description

Nye County Courthouse, Belmont, Nevada, 1902. There is an inscription on the back of the image: "Built in 1874 at a cost of $22,000, the building served as the center of Nye County's government until 1905 when Tonopah became the county seat. Construction was carried out by Reno contractor I.T. Benham. Most of the building materials were secured in the area. Granite blocks for the foundation were quarried near town and the bricks were made at the building site. Lime for the mortar was made in nearby kilns and the rough lumber was cut at the Pine Creek sawmill. The building is presently owned by the Nevada Division of State Parks." There is a date stamp: Christmas 1982.
