From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series IV. Pahrump, Nevada -- Subseries IV.A. Hughes Family/ About half of this photograph was eaten away by the mice while in storage. Mabel Ishmael, Red Hughes, Beryl Hughes, and Leon Hughes (identified from left to right). Leon Hughes believes the building was used as a hotel at the same time that the barn, pictured on pho005234, used to quarter stagecoach horses, at a time when the Pahrump Ranch was a stage stop. The building featured a screened porch, kitchen, dining room, and a hallway, with rooms on each side. There were four rooms on one side and three on the other. The Hughes Brothers slept on the porch during the summer months in beds that were blocked up on one side to make them level. The building is said to have burned down in 1943.
