Notes
  • Significance: This stone building of the mid 1860's was the headquarters for a company producing chemicals used in near-by ore processing mills. Today, the shell survives as a visible reminder of Dayton in the days of the Comstock. On the 49er Trail West, Spafford Hall's Station, as Dayton was originally called, was established as a trading post in 1849. Wagon trains bound for California stopped here to rest before beginning the trek over the Sierras. In 1860 Dayton served as a Pony Express stop. Nearby, at the intersection of Gold Creek Canyon and the Carson River, William Prouse discovered the first ore in Nevada in 1850. For the next ten years Dayton was derisively referred to as Chinatown, after the numerous Chinese prospecting in the area. The name Dayton was designated in 1861 when the town became the county seat for Lyon County, one of the four political divisions of the Nevada Territory. Located on the periphery of the Comstock Lode, Dayton was its natural gateway to the outside world. In the 1860's it became a major milling center, with 28 area mills in 1865. In that year, the town had 2,500 inhabitants, and boasted a school house, Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges, a brewery, 3 grocery stores, 7 hotels, 5 saloons, and 3 lumber yards. Dayton declined along with the Comstock in the late 1870's. It numbered only 200 residents in 1880. In 1911, the county seat was moved to Yerington.
