Goldfield Hotel, Historic hotel in Goldfield, United States.
Description
The Goldfield Hotel is a four-story building in the town's historic district with grey granite on the ground floor and red brick facades with white cornice on upper levels. The neoclassical structure stretches along a corner with two symmetrical wings.
History
George E. Holesworth designed the place between 1907 and 1908, when Goldfield grew into Nevada's largest city through the mining boom. Operations ended during World War II after the building temporarily housed officers and families from Tonopah.
Culture
The name recalls the gold rush that once drew thousands to the desert, while the facade reflects the prosperity of the early mining town. Today the empty building stands as a visible sign of Goldfield's past boom years.
Practical
The building sits at the corner of Crook Avenue and Columbia Avenue and is clearly visible from outside. The former accommodation remains closed, but the facades can be viewed from the sidewalk.
Did you know?
The 150 rooms featured mahogany trim and crystal chandeliers, which was unusual for the early desert town. Few buildings of this size and finish were ever built in such a remote mining region.
