An aerial view of Pioche, Nevada during its silver mining boom. The "Million Dollar" Courthouse is the two-story brick building just to the right of the center of the photo. Buildings indentified as a bakery and a restaurant are also seen.
From the Harvey's Hotel and Casino Postcard Collection (PH-00367) -- The historically famous Lincoln County Courthouse in Pioche, Nevada. Inscription with image says, "...originally contracted for $26,400 in 1871, final cost was $1,000,000.00, final payment being made in 1938. Pioche ranked among top Boom Towns in Nevada. Was too busy making history to edit it. Sixty-eight died with their boots on before the first natural death."
