Salon

The Silver Dollar Salon is one of the oldest and most famous in the American West.

By 1879, the silver boom was in full swing, and by 1880, Leadville was home to nearly 30,000 people. Many new hotels, restaurants, saloons, and brothels sprang up. Mines spread southward and fortunes, like Horace Tabor’s and the Guggenheim’s, were made.
