Date Conquered: 10/21/07 Nearest Intersection: Tan Hill Rd. Quick Description: A unique marker noting one of the first houses in Eureka. Signed: No -- This marker has never been signed. Full Description: Exact description as reads ... The Tannehill brothers built this cabin for a residence in 1864 and lived here about a year before selling their mining interest to a New York company in 1866. The cabin subsequently went through a number of owners, including the firm of Nathan & Harrison, one of the area's first mercantile establishments in the late 1860's. Fires, floods and the ravages of time have spared the structure and local residents take a justifiable pride in the fact that they have been able to save it. The original cabin in the b.g is still remarkably preserved! Kudos to the state of Nevada for sustaining this piece of our heritage. Eureka County Conquered! A pat on the back for another county well done!
