1. Western NEVADA
Virginia City
In 1859 gold and silver was found in Nevada’s Virginia Range and the famous Comstock Lode was discovered. Virginia City, dominated by Victorian architecture and mining ruins, was once one of the largest cities on the west coast. The famous Virginia & Truckee Railroad line between Virginia City and Carson has been rebuilt, and wild horses might be seen from the train. But like mystic whales in a sage and piñon sea, the mustangs are always on the move.

398 N. B Street (P.O. BOX 761)
Virginia City, NV 89440
The Assay House, built in 1862 and one of the few structures that survived the great 1875 fire, is a quaint little one bedroom vacation rental, located in the north part of Virginia City at the intersection of A and B streets. The original brick structure is a renovated living room with a high ceiling, gas fireplace, and has an old turn of the century, large safe that serves as the entertainment center. While the unique style windows in the living room speak to its original use an an Assay Office, through the years it has served as a grocery store, clothing store, antique shop, and has been a residence to several owners, including a longtime Virginia City Postmaster.
The addition in the back houses the bedroom, full bathroom and laundry area. There is a charming kitchen with a stainless steel sink and countertop area, cabinet with lighting below, dishwasher, stove with flat cook top, side by side refrigerator, and an Italian quarry tile floor with radiant heat. A locally made "Tiffany style" dragonfly lamp hangs over the kitchen table.
Outdoors, there are two seating areas, one a garden setting with panoramic views of the mountains on the north side of the house, and one on the south side with a brick patio, table and chairs, with a view of the beautiful St. Mary's Catholic Church.
