Rhyolite School House
Can you imagine the little kids running around in this school house, looking out the windows into the valley on the other side. Wikipedia says, this town was started in 1905 by two men searching for gold. It became a town of 1,200 people in two weeks and reached a population of 2,500 by June 1905. By then it had 50 saloons, 35 gambling tables, cribs for prostitution, 19 lodging houses, 16 restaurants, half a dozen barbers, a public bath house, and a weekly newspaper. One can say, they were "busy beavers"!
