Antique copper and brass bed warmer from the Goldfield Hotel, Goldfield Nevada
Bed warmer measures 10.5" W x 39.5" L
About the Hotel:
More than $80 million dollars in gold stemmed from the mines surrounding Goldfield, which promised nothing but the best of the best for Goldfield residents, and anyone who wanted to visit and stay in the famous Goldfield Hotel, welcoming some of the most and successful politicians, bankers, ladies of the night, gunslingers, and everyone else in between. Built in the heart of town, the Goldfield Hotel was one of the most opulent buildings in Goldfield, and acclaimed as the finest hotel between San Francisco and Denver. Champagne was rumored to have flowed down the grand staircase during the opening ceremony, which celebrated the property’s 154 rooms. Each room featured telephones, electric lights, and a heating system—all luxuries that, during the era, most people had yet to experience or couldn’t afford. The mahogany-paneled lobby was furnished with upholstered leather benches, crystal chandeliers, and gold-leaf ceilings. Plus, the property had an elevator—an extremely rare extravagance during the era—which, running at 300 feet per minute, made it the most modern elevator west of the Mississippi and the fastest in the state.
The Goldfield Hotel was once the most spectacular hotel in the state of Nevada, but today operates under a different superlative: one of the most haunted places in Nevada, if not the entire United States. While the hotel is said to have quite the roster of “permanent guests”, the most famous Goldfield Hotel ghost is the spirit of a woman named Elizabeth, George Wingfield’s said-to-be mistress, who allegedly became pregnant with Wingfield’s child.
