The courthouse in Ely, the seat of White Pine County in eastern Nevada, stands in a town that grew up around mining in the Egan Range. The record does not give a date, so the photograph's exact age is uncertain, but it likely comes from the early twentieth century, when copper and the railroads brought people and money to the area. County courthouses like this one were often the most formal public buildings in small western towns, serving as places for court sessions, county offices, and records. The print is also listed in a national survey of county courthouses, which suggests that the building was considered typical of the civic architecture of its era.
