is what appears to be a homemade historical marker at the Gold Hill Hotel on the south side of Virginia City in Nevada. We stayed there while 4x4 trip back a bit after Y2K. For an old funky desert hotel they had a great restaurant.

A sig on an old building wall reads "GOLD HILL HOTEL
FIRST HOTEL ON THE COMSTOCK. BUILT 1859. EARLY TRANSIENT SHELTER WAS TAKEN IN DUGOUTS AND TENTS. SOME OF THESE WERE CALLED HOTELS. BOARDING AND ROOMING HOUSES SPRANG UP WITH POPULATION. THIS IS THE FIRST EDIFICE KNOWN TO NEVADA, TO BE WORTHY THE NAME OF HOTEL.
Gold Hill Landmarks"
