Aerial view of Virginia City posted to this FB page. Starts with some mining ruins, including hoisting works and tailings.
The view beginning at -1:37 is to the east, away from town, followed by a view to the west, towards town, with a snow-covered Mt. Davidson in the background (originally Sun Mountain).
St. Mary’s church appears at -1:11, followed by the Fourth Ward School at -1:06.
Next is the Silver Terrace Cemetery (NE part of town) at -0:57. The Silverland Inn is at the center of the frame at -0:32.
The view at -0:12 is to the north, showing some of the ‘alphabet’ streets. The main drag running through town is C Street. Mine owners and superintendents lived up the hill on A and B Streets while the rank-and-file lived in the lower part of town, D Street, E street, etc.
The Virginia Range mustangs occasionally pass through the area, as noted in this post.
