1925--Nevada "ghost town"--outtakes

Description:

Shots of what was once the "boom town" of Rhyolite, Nevada, abandoned since 1920. Concrete and wooden buildings have wasted away to nothing but the walls. Shots of a funeral parlor, a steam tractor from 1880, and the bottle house, built of pre-prohibition era containers.
