RPPC Virginia City Nevada Aerial View Ghost Town Mining Saint Mary\'s Cathedral Selz Shoes

This is an aerial view of Virginia City, Nevada, which I believe was a photo taken some time between 1877 and the 1920\'s. After the great fire of 1875, and after the St. Mary\'s of the Mountains Cathedral was rebuilt in 1877. But, before or around the end of the 1920s when Selz Shoes was still in business. Although it is unknown how long the Selz Shoes Building sign remained up. I believe you can see a loaded wagon being pulled by a horse on one of the streets near the cathedral.

Virginia City is a Boom Town from the 1800s, and saw it\'s glory days during the days of mining the Comstock Load, which gave Nevada its name as the Silver State. This historical mining town is an important part of Nevada History and has been restored with much authenticity. It is a wonderful place to visit and spend the day exploring history.
