RHH's photos with the keyword: gold rush

Here's another photo from the Nevada ghost town of Rhyolite, this of the remains of the Overbury Bank building.

The ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada is just across the border from California in an area known as the Bullfrog Hills. Rhyolite is a former mining town and this is the old train station on the now-abandoned Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad.

The Nevada ghost town of Rhyolite was established in 1905 during a gold rush and lasted only until 1920 when the richest ore was exhausted. It is about 120 miles northwest of Las Vegas and a major tourist attraction with an outdoor sculpture park near the entrance to the town. This group of statues is one of the most notable and is part of grouping that includes a ghost with a bicycle and another with an artist's palette.
