| 説明 | This was the first stone building constructed in Virginia City, in the summer of 1863. Its popular name — "Vigilante Barn" — reflects its most prominent role, historically, as the place where the Vigilantes signed their oath. The courageous men met on the night of December 23, 1863, immediately after the trial of George Ives in Nevada City. They formed the Vigilantes, the organization, which finally freed the area from the grip of the notorious Plummer gang.William Kiskadden & Company occupied the store at this time. The sign has been retouched but is traced over the original, which was still visible. The building at first was divided into three stores, with French doors opening onto the street.George Thexton a blacksmith, purchased the block in 1871. He remodeled the building, removing the floors and dividing walls and fitted it with the stalls remaining today. Thus revised, it was opened as the Star Stables in January, 1874.Click here to read more about this building.. |
