Description
This was a tent house being moved from one location to another. There was an inscription on the image. "At the time the camp was in the process of establishing itself as a permanent town and as substantial frame buildings began replacing the tent houses, many were moved to new locations.

Numerous tent houses, such as the one pictured here, became permanent homes when covered with boards and sheet metal. An example is the house in the Central Nevada Museum's 'town.'''
