The record — long form
Cary House is the golded — the 'dust in floors' that's the find's form, the 'fourth story' that's the bonus's build. The 'Stan' is the stabbed — the 'flirted' that's the clerk's sin, the 'mahogany stairs' that's the death's site. The 'whistle' is the heard — the 'Pretty Woman' that's the song's trigger, the 'pinch' that's the ghost's touch.
The 'Hangtown' is the hosted — the '8 miles' that's the Coloma's gap, the 'stagecoach' that's the stop's form. The 'Burned '56' is the rebuilt — the 'brick' that's the second's form, the 'elevator' that's the '26's add. Cary House is the kept — the 'Mark Twain' that's the guest's name, the 'Buffalo Bill' that's the other's fame.
The file keeps Cary House: the golded floors, the stabbed Stan, the hosted presidents, and the kept hotel.
Cary House is the archive's California file — the hotel that paid for its own growth.
Why this file matters

A hotel keeps its gold — the file's suggestion being that Cary's hold is the layered: the 'dust' that's the floor's treasure, the 'Stan' that's the staff's ghost, and the 'Hangtown' that's the town's shadow.
