This building dates back to the 1870s and was moved to Carson Valley from Virginia City before the end of the 19th century. It was somewhat commonplace to move buildings from Virginia City after the comstock lode era.
Town founder Lawrence Gilman used the building as the bar and dining room for the Gardnerville Hotel. The hotel had formerly been the rent house in Genoa before being moved to a spot just north of here. The Gardnerville Hotel burned to the ground and was never rebuilt."
