Description

This beautiful old mansion nestled at the foothills of Mount Davidson boasts to be Virginia City's only truly original mansion from the 1800s. The furnishings were imported from Europe in 1868 and are still on display. Crystal chandeliers illuminate the rooms and reflect brightly on the silver doorknobs adorning the large wooden doors. Climb to floors above on Italian hanging stairways fastened with silver stair rods. Marvel at the workmanship and beauty of the Carrara marble fireplaces. Admission is $4 for adults and $1 for children.
