March 11, 2013  Molinelli's Hotel is located over the Silver Queen Saloon in Virginia City.  There was a great fire in 1875 that wiped out about 300 buildings in the city.  The Silver Queen and Molinelli's Hotel were rebuilt and reopened in approximately 1878.  As mentioned before, it was impossible to keep the telephone wires and poles out of any of the photos taken at Virgina City.  And too - this one's angle is as it is because I was trying to exclude the many cars parked along the street.  Here's another view from a different vantage point:  http://lgood.smugmug.com/Architecture/Buildings/7752393_7Pg76q#!i=2389204448&k=KhL8ZMJ  Not sure, but the bright spot in the sky must be from lens flare.  Virgina City is a must see if you're ever in northern Nevada.  I'm headed out this morning for another work trip.  I'll be gone all week.  Keep the great photos coming, and I will do my best to comment!  Have a fantastic week my friends!!!  Linda
