The record — long form
The Gold Hill Hotel is the state's oldest — the Riesen House of '61, the Comstock that it served. The Yellow Jacket is the tragedy — the '69 fire that was Nevada's worst, the 35-40 miners who were sealed in the tunnels. The union was the first — the '64 constitution on the hotel's steps, the miners' organizing that started there.
The Vesey was the host — the balls and the shootings, the proprietor who was shot at over a bill. The Rosie and William are the ghosts — the room hauntings that the staff name, the paranormal tours that the hotel hosts. The Gold Hill Hotel is the survivor — the 160 years that's the oldest, the Comstock's bar that's still open.
The file keeps the Gold Hill Hotel: the 1861 opening, the Yellow Jacket disaster, the union founding, and the ghosts.
