Description
Photograph of a view of the Rhyolite deserted mining camp in Goldfield, Nevada, ca.1900. What appears to be a brick porch stands center with the wooden structure extending to the left amongst bushes and overgrown weeds. While a broken wooden frame lies in the weeds in the foreground, what appears to be a fine church sits in the background on the right. Windows are in the wall underneath the shingled roof and what seems to be a brick steeple stands on the right side. The rocky mountain range can be seen in the distance.
