One of the cool things about living in or visiting Nevada is that we’re constantly surrounded by history. It seems like wherever you turn, there’s a story to uncover from the Silver State’s fascinating past. For example, what was once a notable bank in a prominent mining town is now a classy hotel where you can stay the night. In fact, it wasn’t just any old bank, but THE Nevada State Bank & Trust. Pretty cool, huh? Read on to learn all about it!

Spend the night inside of a Tonopah icon when you stay at the Belvada Hotel. Originally, this building was the Nevada State Bank & Trust, but today it's an elegant and stately hotel.

The building was constructed in 1906 in a Classical Revival style. You can imagine what a sight it must've been back in the day, especially in such a lively mining community. Unfortunately, the nation experienced a financial downturn just months after the building was completed and the bank was soon closed.
Management/Tripadvisor
Over the year, the building has played all sorts of roles in Tonopah. It once hosted a posh clubroom called the Nevada Club Saloon, a barbershop, a drug store, a cigar shop, a clothing shop, and all types of professional offices. However, it was hit hard during the Great Depression and sat empty for many decades.
