This is the Rhyolite Train Depot, as it appeared in a 1913 photo.
The Las Vegas & Tonopah Railroad paid $130,000 to build it in 1906.
It was abandoned when the mining industry collapsed during the depression following the 1907 financial panic, brought on by the banksters, who used this depression, as an excuse to form the Federal Reserve System.

The depot, in 1995, has been fenced off, for years, to protect it from vandals.There is a Canadian-owned cyanide gold-leaching operation, not far, over the eastern hills, which still pulls millions in gold from the their federal mining claim. These foreigners do not pay any Income Taxes on their profits.
