| We walked just a few short city blocks to obtain the next photo. Again in this location I was unable to obtain an unobstructed view as there was a vehicle parked in front I cropped the photo to obtain the prominent pillars in the front, but was unable to get the window as the vehicle was blocking that angle. In researching this photo I found that the building actually started as the H.B. Ailman house in 1881. The house was in the hands of the Hobart family until 1897 when a judge ruled they did not have ownership of the property. From 1908-1926 it was used as a boarding home. From 1926-1931 it was used as the City Hall From 1931-1970 it was used as a firehouse From 1970-present it houses the Silver City Museum. |
