Description

Main Street, Silver Peak, Nevada, 1938. There is an inscription on the back of the image: "In 1938, Silver Peak was Esmeralda County's largest and most prosperous town, boasting a population of over 1,000. The economy was supported chiefly by the nearby mines of the Nivloc and Mary Mine areas. The town's prosperity ended when the mines closed with the beginning of WWII." The section of town in the upper left corner of the photo, which included the post office, several stores and a theater was destroyed by fire in 1948. There is a date stamp: Christmas, 1986.
