in Eureka, Nevada.

Eureka County Courthouse
|
|
Built in 1879-80, of
locally fired brick and of sandstone quarried nearby, the Eureka
County Courthouse remains a fine example of boom town Victorian
opulence. This relic, scene of many famous trials, lives on in
reflected glory of the days when Eureka was the first important
lead-silver district in the United States. |

Notes on this marker:
Eureka! I like this town. If you look in the background of
the top picture, you'll see the Sentinel Building, another marker
location.
