Bottle House, Rhyolite Ghost Town

One of the highlights of visiting Rhyolite is seeing this house. Apparently when the town was booming, there was no shortage of beer bottles. Tom Kelly got beer bottles from the bars in town during the gold rush and built this home. It is made up of thousands of Busch beer bottles and is the only home that is still standing in Rhyolite in this kind of condition. I took a close up of the bottles in this shot. You can see the AB imprinted in the bottom of many of the bottles.
