Goldfield Historic District

The Goldfield Historic District is a neighborhood with around 120 preserved buildings constructed between 1904 and 1909 during the city's rapid growth. The area spans several blocks and shows houses, shops, and other structures from this mining boom era.

The city emerged around 1900 when gold discoveries drew thousands of people who quickly built one of Nevada's largest cities here. A major fire in 1923 destroyed many buildings, but several structures like the Goldfield Hotel survived and still stand today.

The buildings here reflect different architectural styles from the gold boom era, including Craftsman and Georgian Revival designs that show the city's former wealth. Walking through, you notice how these varied styles sit side by side, telling the story of a prosperous mining community.

You can walk through the neighborhood and view preserved buildings like the Goldfield Hotel and the Consolidated Mines Building from the outside. Watch for information signs and markers throughout the area that help explain the different locations and structures you see.

The Goldfield Hotel is one of the few buildings that survived the city's most destructive fire in 1923 without damage and kept its original structure. The building tells the story of the mining town's resilience through its survival.
