Ghost Town

The ghost town section of this web site features the remains that stand at Rhyolite, Nevada today. Each featured building has its own page with information about the building and what remains. You will also find additional photos of each building in the photo gallery on this site.

Tom Kelly Bottle House: The bottle house was built using bottles.

John S Cook Bank Building: The three-story building located on Golden Street. It's one of the most photographed buildings in Nevada ghost towns.

Gorrill Building: Sat next to the Cook Bank Building.

Rhyolite Jail House: Out on the edge of town. It was at one corner of the Red Light District.

Overbury Building: Across Golden Street from the Porter Store.

HD & LD Porter Store: This was a store that carried everything a person could need. We would probably compare it to a modern day Wal-Mart.

Las Vegas & Tonopah Railroad Depot: One of the fully intact buildings in Rhyolite.

Rhyolite School House: A bond was issued to build this building. The bond was not fully paid until long after the demise of Rhyolite.
