The Country’s Smallest Hamlet
Per request from one of our subscribers, Mary Peery, for more Nevadaville stories, here’s a fascinating article about Leonard and “The Country’s Smallest Hamlet” in the DelMarva Star, Wilmington, Delaware, January 6, 1935:
“Leonard Nichols grins and walks on Main Street in Nevadaville, Gilpin County, Colorado. A residence tops a stone retaining wall behind him. The Masonic Lodge has a brick front with arched windows on both floors and an incised panel under the cornice. The Oddfellows Building has stone trim and storefronts with mill-worked pilasters. The Bon-Ton Saloon has three arches. The wood-frame tower of the City Hall/Fire Department has a bell; cars are parked in the background.”
