Amazingly great shape considering that the last of the town died in the 1940s and most of it long before that.
People sure knew how to build back then.
While I understand it is still young compared to the castles in Europe, remember that these buildings were built by ordinary Americans, not legions of serfs or slaves which could be commanded by royalty.

Yeah, and there’s also even more ghostly Virginia City, Mt NE of Yellowstone. On my last visit there was a still a saloon amid a row of abandoned storefronts and grazing wild horses across the narrow rural highway. I’ve got to find me pictures of the place! Could be a wonderful destination to vanish should the mood strike and a cozy DIY cabin suits ya okay.

The abandoned Gold Rush town in Montana that once bustled with 100,000 prospectors ...
Once home to 10,000 hungry prospectors ...
Somewhere between the title and the first sentence, you lost 90,000 prospectors.

How is it that a town less than 20 miles from an interstate highway can lie abandoned?

Ah there’s that famous Daily Mail attention to detail: 100,000 or 10,000 prospectors, whatever.
