Summary

[edit]
Description

Rhyolite, Nevada is a ghost town. In it's heyday it was a very busy place and it's said to have had 50 saloons at one time.

Tom Kelly, a prospector, decided to settle in Rhyolite in 1905 but building materials were in short supply. He collected 50,000 empty bottles from the saloons in less than six months, enough to build a three-room house from them, complete with a porch. It was lived in - though not by him - until 1967.

No-one lives in Rhyolite now but it's a tourist attraction and filming location.
