Description

Photograph of a view of the ruins of the Wells Fargo Bank and Express Office in Virginia City, Nevada, ca.1930. The ruins of the building stand at center with an incomplete brick wall towards the right. In the front of the former bank columns and long arches that were once windows can still be seen. Below them is the shingled roof of the porch of the first story where the entrance lies. On the right a piece of the back of the building stands alone with empty doorways and a sign that reads "Dangerous Keep Out". On the left two automobiles are parked along the street in front of a still-standing brick building further down from the bank.
