I would be the first to tell you that I wear my top hat proud when I enter the Washoe Club. Its not to often that you can visit a lounge drink some brews and ghosthunt all at the same time. So first and foremost I would like to recommend this location to our viewers for those who decide to visit the Virginia City area. For me being a paranormal investigator is not always about its ghosts its also about its history especially in relation to the Comstock Lode.

The saloon which was the cities oldest burnt down in 1962 during a fire only to be reestablished in 1875. Today it is a three-story building and probably most well known for its spiral staircase which was featured in Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not as being the longest of its kind without a supporting pole. Rumor has it that the stairwell itself is haunted by the ghost of a lady named "Jeni" or as some refer to her as "The Lady In Blue".  Of course in my research I have also heard that others have called her "Lena" and "Lila" so there really is not much definitive proof to go on. Rumor has it her throat was slit by one of her clients. The spiral stairwell itself was built so that the wealthy citizens who were members of the millionaires club would have access to the upstairs where club activities would take place. The stairwell today is very well known for its ghost and history.

The club itself was formed by the wealthiest citizens of the Comstock. It was a social club where they could boast about their statuses and riches. Some called it the Millionaire boys club back in the "Silver Seventies". Their was one main entrance into the club and two hidden back entrances including the Spiral Staircase where prostitutes could be brought in where only the wealthiest of men would live out their hidden fantasies with.

The club was a way for the more wealthier gentlemen to avoid some of the more rowdier saloons and citizens. Lets face it the west went wild just as much as it was wild shootouts, murders, gambling and fights were not uncommon in such boom towns like Virginia City Nevada. Like many well known clubs across the country the Millionaire's Club rivaled others found in places like Boston, San Francisco and even New York City. People such as from President Grant, Mark Twain, John Mackay, Thomas Edison and General Sherman just to name a few were members here.

This was a place where these gentlemen could discuss their business empires, play games of chance and carouse the local prostitutes. Nobody questioned whatever took place here due to the fact that it was a private club where nobody would question these men of power. The tipsy patrons could always be removed quietly and allot of the not so legal activities took place where the general population was not allowed which was the upstairs.

Despite the clubs millionaire history in relation to this location it has a much darker history then a few millionaires sharing a few drinks and pleasures. Back in the day grave diggers would store bodies in a room today that is called "The Crypt". The winters were very cold thus the ground was to frozen to dig the graves thus they stored bodies within the Washoe Club even during normal business functions. You could be drinking or playing poker never even realizing that in just a few rooms over a cadaver remained on ice. Today it seems to be a focal point for many paranormal groups to conduct their investigations at. Little do others realize but the room really holds no relevance to its haunting's although activity has been said to occur here I believe most of the haunting's surround other parts of the club.

Today perhaps there are many well known consistent ghost stories passed down through generations that have taken place within this historic building. The first one is about an attractive blonde apparition known as the "Lady In Blue" or called Jeni/Lena or Lila. Rumor has it that she was murdered and back in the day it was not uncommon for a prostitute to be strangled as they were shunned upon highly in society. Some of these men who killed the prostitutes did it because they knew they could get away with it afterall who would you believe the wealthy man who brings the town millions in gold or the prostitute who sells her body? Although Jeni seems to sighted around the Spiral Stairwell which was on the way to the pool room which today serves as the haunted museum the ghost of a little girl has also been seen by the stairwell looking down. I heard that she was killed in the basement of the club although again their is no definitive proof of this fact.  Also back during the clubs heyday a prospector committed suicide on the second floor however some feel he overdosed on pills. Sightings of all three ghosts within the club are not that uncommon.

The prospector perhaps is the oddest haunting of all as he has been known to snatch unattended drinks within the lounge. Today the bartenders will often leave a full shot of bourbon on the bar just before closing down for the night. The next day they come in the shot glass is found empty. The bar itself seems to be a focal point of allot of the occurrences such as barstools tipping over, disappearing drinks, flicking drinks over, doors opening by themselves for women walking through the entrance and mysterious locking doors just to name a few of them.

There is a sign more like a hand written piece of paper that notes
"Entrance to Millionaires Club now sealed to prevent fire draft." this was put there after a major fire hit the city and since then the spiral stairwell no longer was in use. Many feel that for this reason may be the cause of allot of the ghostly activity surrounding it. Today the upper two floors of the Washoe Club remained desolate and abandoned where many of the sinful deeds took place in the 1800's.

When business began to decline such as mines closing down in 1898 the club was then opened to the general public. I am a club member and so our society gets access to the haunted museum and other areas where we can enjoy private shows even. I am glad that in some form that the club upholds some of their traditions even in modern days which makes this a highly unique location especially being very local in the area.  The club featured a pool room, ballroom, lounge, poker room, bar and even at one time private suites.

Although some rumor it to be one of the most haunted places in the wild west I do beg to differ. I realize that TAPS and Ghost Adventurers brought allot of limelight to the club making it appear to be this way but lets not ignore that Virginia City has many other well known haunted notable sites as well. Visiting the haunted museum and looking at creepy dolls, ouija boards and crystal balls definitely adds to the haunting atmosphere of this historic location. However seeing photos of dust particles on its walls is just not conclusive evidence with the exception of all the EVP's other paranormal groups have captured here adding to the curiosity of what or whom is haunting the once millionaires club! Its definitely been proven to be haunted now its a matter of solving its mysteries! Another haunted saloon just a few buildings down main street is The Ponderosa Saloon & The Belcher Mine definitely worth a gander.

If you would like to read a more in depth history I have posted an article further below on this page taken from the clubs website which talks more about the club in depth along with some of the details about the building itself. We look forward to making our own history within the club, sharing good times and eventually adding more content to this section of our website. The Washoe Club is truly a place for those who enjoy a good brew and its spirits all alike! Nobody says that you cannot enjoy a bit of entertainment while enjoying the spooks that it has to offer!

The History of the Washoe Club

By http://www.thewashoeclub.com/history/

In the salad days of Nevada’s Comstock Lode a great social institution was spawned by mining magnates, artists and men of letters who sought to hobnob in luxury. The Washoe Club gained a reputation throughout the Pacific Coast for luxurious accommodations, and at one time it was a household term.

Soon after Bonanza dividends surged from $3 per share in January 1875 to $10 per share within less than two months, an organizational meeting of the Club held on February 20 proved to be a prelude to a parade of notables that would cavort through the Club’s exclusive quarters which housed one of the finest libraries east of San Francisco, an elegant billiard room, a parlor adorned with Italian marble and bronze statuettes, and a wine room that boasted an elaborately carved black walnut sideboard. The Club’s membership roster read like a Who’s Who of Comstock and Pacific Coast history, and the pages of the Club’s guest register were emblazoned with the signatures of General Ulysses S. Grant, General Robert Sherman, actor-lecturer Artemus Ward, actor Edwin Booth and railroad magnate Darius Ogden Mills and fifty other millionaires of international reputation.

The Territorial Enterprise of February 21, 1875, reported the details of the organizational meeting of the previous day:

…a meeting was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the office of Whitman & Wood in the California Building, for the purpose of taking steps for the organization of a social club in this city.

The club begins with sixty charter members, who pay in $150 each, making $9,000 with which to start. The initiation for new members has not yet been decided upon nor the amount to be paid in per month by each member.

We understand that the club will either purchase or erect a suitable building in which to fit up their rooms, and it is their intention to have everything in grand style. There will be a fine library and all the leading newspapers of the United States will be kept; also, the stock reports and all also in the way of news will be brought to the rooms of the club.

There will be a billiard-room, lunch room and all else that is to be found in the rooms of any first-class club of the kind.

The number of members is limited to 200. This club will supply a want long felt in the city, and is calculated to do a vast amount of good in a great variety of ways. The names of those who are taking the lead in organization of the club are a sufficient guaranty that it will prove a grand success in every respect.

Among the sixty charter members were Bank of California officers W.H. Blauvelt, J.E. Eckley, J.P. Martin and A.J. Ralston; Nevada Bank of San Francisco agent George A. King, Territorial Enterprise editor R. M. Daggett, mining magnates John Mackay and James G. Fair, Tahoe lumber magnate D.L. Bliss, mine superintendents Samuel T. Curtis, Charles Forman, W.S. Hobert, Frank F. Osbiston, and Isaac L. Requa; former Nevada Chief Justice James F. Lewis, Judge R.S. Mesick, Virginia and Truckee Railroad officers F.A. Tritle and H. M. Yerington and Wells Fargo agent C.C. Pendergast.

Other charter members included these attorneys and businessmen:

P.F. Beardsley, C.H.Belknap, Daniel Cook, A. Cornwall, George H. Dana, W.E.F. Deal, C. Derby, R.V. Dey, Samuel Doake, E.D. Dorsey, C.E. DeLong, Dennis Driscoll, A.M. Eddington, G.F. Ford, N.C. Hall, A.C. Hamilton, John B. Hereford, G.W. Hopkins, R.P. Geating, Robert H. Lindsay, John Mallon, Joseph B. Mallon, D.C. McKay, T.D. Parkinson, T.H. Ralston, W.M. Robertson, Henry Rolfe, George Senf, M.N. Stone, Thomas B. Taylor, A.B. Thompson, C.W. Tozer, John Van DeWater, C.H. Van Gorder, R. Webber, B.C. Whitman, W.S. Wood, William Woodburn and W.T. Wright.

Within two months the Club had purchased the Reynolds Building at 8 & 10 “B” Street and promptly began renovating the structure to the organization’s luxurious requirements; the enterprise of April 22, 1875, noted the progress:

The double hall was at once taken out and the stairs, which were in front, were removed to the rear. As at present arranged, the ascent is easily made and the hall commodious. The lower floor of the building is still occupied by Mr. Thompson, the architect, upon one side, and by Mr. Hereford, the mill and mining superintendent, upon the other.

To the north of the hall, and next to the eastern wall, is the wine-room — 14×17 feet – which will be fitted up with an elegant sideboard, etc. Between this and the front parlor is the card-room –14×14 — which is to be elegantly furnished, but in which no games for money will be allowed to be played. Passing through the folding doors to the front, you enter one of the double parlors, which occupy the whole front of the building, and are connected by sliding doors of ample dimensions. The first parlor is 19×24, the second 24×27 feet. To the west of the one last mentioned is the billiard-room, 24×31 feet, which is to contain two tables, of elegant pattern and most approved make. Either of these rooms is accessible from the hall and communicate by means of sliding doors.

The old windows are to be removed and replaced by two pane of French plate glass.

The carpets and furniture are to be of the most elegant styles and make and of superior quality. The grates and mantles are of the purest marble, and when completed, the Washoe Club will have a place where they may recline at ease and sojourn in comfort. It is the intention of the Club to erect a building upon the western portion of their lot, and facing “A” Street, which will be fitted up in elegance and used as a really first-class lodging house with restaurant attached. When completed, the Club may justly feel proud of their conveniently arranged, elegantly fitted up and comfortable rooms.

“A run through the elegant rooms” was offered by the paper on June 4:

. . .The situation is most desirable, being on “B” Street, between Taylor and Union, and a few doors north of the Court House. The front is adorned with a balcony, from which the magnificent scenery to the east of the city is visible. This outlook is unsurpassed by any in the land. The eye ranges over the busy part of the city, the hills to the east, the Sugarloaf, the Valley of the Carson, the Como Range, and on till its reach is lost in the distance. Upon the background of the picture, the Twenty-six mile Desert, 65 miles away, appears as a brown spot, and the Humboldts, 150 miles distant, raise their bold broad brows, snow-covered, till they seem to mix with heaven’s blue arch and fade away to the sky. The faint outline of the Forty-mile Desert, so terrible in early days as the abode of dusty death, is just caught as it sinks, like the dip of ocean water, behind the intervening ranges.

The approaches to the rooms are easy and elegant. The lower hall is ample and well lighted. Toward the western and the stairway rises very gradually, taking 32 steps to gain the elevation of the second story. The hall above is also ample, well lighted, and affords easy access to each of the rooms. The stairs and upper hall are elegantly carpeted with body Brussels. The front part of the second story is occupied by the parlor and reading-room.

The parlor is 27×24 feet. The carpet is of body Brussels of elegant make and extra quality. The same pattern extends through the reading and billiard-rooms. All the carpets were selected for the Club by Mr. Rogers, President of the Union Club of San Francisco, who has certainly displayed superior taste in the selections made.

The mantle is of the finest Italian marble and adorned with beautiful bronze statuettes, the one in the center bearing an elegant clock, those at either hand representing Shakespeare and Tasso, respectively. Above the mantle is placed and elegant and costly French plate glass mirror. The walls are finished with China glaze and ornamented with distinguished works of art, and conspicuous among them were noticeable the two storm scenes by French, the one representing “Broad River Falls,” North Carolina, the other “Haymaking,” and each having a storm done to nature for a background. These elegant paintings were purchased at the recent art sale in this city. The windows are of fine plate glass and the furniture upholstered, the covering blending and harmonizing beautifully with the carpet.

The general description above given to the parlor applies equally well to the reading room. This room is 19×24 feet, and is to the left of the parlor. Here are to be found all the latest papers and periodicals for perusal. The paintings on the walls are also very fine and include a “Summer Scene in Orange County, New York” and Zang’s famous “Winter Scene.”

The chandeliers, both here in the parlor, are of elegant pattern, beautifully gilt and the finest ever brought to Virginia City. Large sliding doors connect this room with the parlor, as the two are fitted up en suite.

The billiard-room is carpeted with the same body Brussels as the parlor and reading-room.

It contains two elegant tables manufactured by Strahle & Co. with Delaney’s patent wire and rubber cushions and slate beds. Here everything is of the same style of elegance as prevails throughout the entire establishment. Even patent counters are introduced, thus doing away with the necessity of stretching wires across the room. This room is to the right as the upper hall is gained and communicates by sliding doors with the parlor.

The wine and card-rooms are to the left of the upper hall and communicate with the reading-room. These are richly and tastefully furnished and contain everything which can contribute to the comfort and enjoyment of those who frequent them. These rooms are respectively 14×17 and 14×14 feet. The card-room is back of the library, and the wine and lunch-room in the rear of the card-room. The sideboard in the latter is of black walnut, elegantly and elaborately carved. Next to it is a sink of the same material and made to correspond therewith. The carpets in both rooms are of the same pattern and differ in figure only from those in the other rooms. The chandeliers in these rooms are most elegant and covered with steel plate, which is polished like silver.

The store-room is on the lower floor, where all the supplies are kept. The whole is under the immediate supervision of the Assistant Secretary, W.C. Brown. All supplies are charged to him. When anything is needed by the bar-tender upstairs, it is charged to the sideboard. Members partaking thereof or engaging in billiards, hand to the bar-tender a card prepared for the purpose, which is filled out with the name, article and amount. No money is used by the members. Their accounts are all kept and charged up and kept with their monthly dues. It is the duty of the Assistant Secretary to keep all these accounts, as well as to attend to their collection.

The Washoe Club opened its quarters for business on June 1, 1875, and according to reports in the press, applications for membership came in rapidly, but little did anyone realize that the Club was already at its zenith. Within less than five months the palatial club rooms were consumed by the flames that destroyed much of Virginia City on October 26, 1875, and members fell behind in paying assessments on their membership stock.

Faced with the need to find a new home for the Club and the delinquency of assessment, officers of the Washoe Club ordered on December 10, 1875 that all delinquent shares be offered at public sale on February 10, 1876, on the site of Club rooms on “B” Street.

Among the delinquent members were these prominent men in Nevada history: Rollin M. Daggett, editor of the Enterprise, attorney Charles DeLong, Dennis Driscoll, publisher of the Enterprise, U.S. Senator John P. Jones, J.H. Kinkead, who later became governor of Nevada; U.S. Senator William M. Stewart, and Henry M. Yerington, Virginia & Truckee Railroad magnate.

The new year, 1876, promised to be a prosperous one for the disarrayed Club. A meeting held in early March saw the election of new trustees and the adoption of a resolution to sell the Club’s lot on “B” Street and rent Club rooms elsewhere rather than construct a new building following the disastrous fire. The resolution noted, “This will be done as soon as practicable.”

Another six months passed before the new Club rooms would be ready for occupancy. The Territorial Enterprise of September 3, 1876, said the new quarters “. . . are more elegant than those on “B” Street.”

. . .The Washoe Club rooms in the Douglas block are now nearly completed and more elegant than those on “B” Street which were consumed by the great conflagration of last October. They are also more conveniently located, being within easy access of both “C” and “B” Streets, and in the busiest part of the city. They comprise, in all, eight apartments, all of which are fitted up with elegance and taste. They are reached by a flight of stairs from “C” Street and also by steps from “B”.

The following is a list of the officers of the Club: J.H. Kinkead, President; George A. King, Secretary and Treasurer; Trustees, C.E. DeLong, M.N. Stone, E.A. Schultz, S.T. Curtis, J.B. Overton, George H. King, John H. Kinkead, Henry Rolfe, E.B. Dorsey, Thomas H. Ralston and Jasper Babcock. There are over 100 active members of the Club.

The reading-room fronts on C Street and is lighted by four large windows of French plate glass. The apartment is 30×22 feet. The floor is covered by an Axminster carpet of the thickest and finest make and most elegant pattern. In the center of the room is a 4 by 12 table of black walnut inlaid with laurel, on which are all the papers and periodicals usually read on the coast. The room is abundantly provided with upholstered furniture in the shape of easy chairs, sofas, lounges and the like. On each side are placed $800 mirrors of French plate glass in frames and mountings manufactured expressly for the porch of the building in front. In the evening the apartment is brilliantly lighted by two chandeliers of polished steel. The reading-room is separated by folding doors from the billiard-parlor.

The billiard-parlor is in size its exact counterpart, so that when both rooms are thrown together an area of 22×60 feet is gained. It is lighted from the rear by day and by silvered chandeliers by night. The carpet of this parlor is of the same pattern as that of the reading room. It contains two Strahle tables of the very best make and latest improvements, the beds being of slate and the legs, etc., beautifully carved. Wilton carpets with mitred corners surround the tables. The markers are peculiar institutions and were manufactured expressly for the Washoes at a cost of $100 each. They consist of small black walnut stands, from the sides of which rise arms branching out about a yard. These are connected by wires on which are strung ivory buttons. The counting is done with the fingers and thus the unsightly and inconvenient wires across the room are avoided. A stationary washstand occupies one corner and the parlor is amply provided with furniture. This room communicates with the hall and main entrance and also with the wine-room.

The wine-room is connected with the billiard parlor by means of a broad, arched doorway, richly and heavily draped with crimson curtains, which are drawn aside during the occupancy of the rooms. This room contains an elegant sideboard amply stocked with the very best beverages and cigars which can be procured and a lunch table bountifully supplied with delicacies and substantials. It is richly carpeted with body Brussels. This room is adjoined on the west by the card-room, which is carpeted like the wine-room and furnished with all the appliances which belong to such places.

These apartments and the reading-room and billiard-parlor are daily thronged with the members of the Club and their guests. A stock-reporting telegraph gives regular quotations from the market, and its registerings are narrowly watched while points are given and exchanged among the members.

Between the wine-room and the hall are the reception and storerooms. The former is conveniently arranged for the use of members and visitors. It is provided with hat-racks, and at one side are arranged a number of boxes for the reception, in stormy and bad weather, of mudshoes, etc. The store-room is provided with facilities for storing in proper order the supplies for the wine-room and such other things as are necessarily kept on hand for the convenience of the Club.

Across the hall and reaching to the front of the building are two private card-rooms, which are also being prepared with the proper furniture and necessary accommodations for the members in this line.

Taken all together, the rooms are more convenient, better arranged and more elegantly and luxuriously fitted up than were the rooms which were occupied by the Club previous to the fire.

Within a month members of the Club entered into a contract with prominent Virginia City landscape artist, C.B. McClellan, to render a series to paintings with which to decorate the Club’s new quarters. A spokesmen for the Club noted, “It has been unanimously determined to have the well-known artist C.B. McClellan take some views of Virginia and the scenery east and south. The selection is an excellent one. In fact, besides the scenery and the city, there are so many peculiarities along the Comstock which are fast changing and disappearing and which are to be found nowhere else in the world, that as works of art and representatives of nature, the pictures will be worth a place in the archives of the nation.”

The contract with McClellan was published in the Territorial Enterprise on Oct. 1, 1876:

THE CONTRACT

With the artist calls for four pictures, each to be thirty-six by fifty-six inches in the clear. They are to represent Virginia City from end to end, and are to be so faithfully executed that every place can be pointed out and recognized. This panoramic view of Virginia is to constitute the foreground of the pictures – the scenery in the distance the background. The characteristics of the place, the heavy wood and quartz teams, the miners with their buckets, and even the Chinamen with their pack-mules loaded with wood, are all left to be filled in truthfully, according to the taste and skill of the artist.

The paintings were executed and a complete descriptions of them , as gleaned from art critics of the day, may be read in The Works of C.B. McClellan, compiled by Dave Basso and published in 1987 by Falcon Hill Press, Sparks, Nevada.

By the time the Washoe Club was back to its renewed glory, the production of the miners had fallen drastically. Bonanza dividends for the first three months of 1876 averaged $10 per share and then skidded to $2 per share by year’s end. By the end of the decade, dividends on the Comstock were down to 50 cents per share. A disastrous underground fire, in 1881, wreaked further havoc on the production of mines and on the ability of the Washoe Club members to continue to indulge in luxury. Membership continued to drop off and monthly dues were reduced to $2.50! By 1897, the Washoe Club ceased to exist and the Territorial Enterprise, of September 9, 1897, said, “The Washoe Club is no more.”

“The closing of the Washoe Club marks an era in the history of Nevada, as did its opening,” the paper concluded.
