Henry Piper House

This one and a half story Italianate row house features distinctive decorative elements and architectural details typical of mid-19th century residential construction in Virginia City.

Built in 1875 following the devastating fire that destroyed much of Virginia City, the house represents the community's resilient rebuilding efforts during the silver mining boom era.

Henry Piper, the original owner, managed Piper's Corner Saloon and was involved in operating the local opera house, contributing significantly to Virginia City's entertainment and social scene.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places under reference number 11000254, the house now operates as a bed and breakfast offering visitors accommodations in a historic setting.

The house received a historic preservation award from the state of Nevada in 2008, recognizing its successful restoration and continued operation as a hospitality establishment.
