The Charles S. Sprague House, located at the southwest corner of Myers Avenue and Bellevue Avenue in Goldfield, is a notable historic property tied to the town’s early 20th-century gold boom.

Built in 1906, the house reflects the architectural style of the period with its hipped roof, boxed eaves, and grand front porch supported by elegant pillars. Once known as “The Gables”, it is listed as #22 in the Goldfield Historical Society’s Walking Tour Booklet, underscoring its significance in the town’s heritage.

The house was originally the residence of Charles S. Sprague, a prominent figure in Goldfield’s history. Sprague, born in Ohio in 1865, arrived in Goldfield in December 1905 with a reputation as a seasoned newspaperman and politician from Colorado. In January 1906, he purchased the Goldfield News, transforming it into one of the most successful businesses in the district. Under his ownership, the newspaper expanded to include a daily evening edition, the Daily News, starting in February 1909, until it was acquired by the Goldfield Tribune in 1911.

Sprague was also a major player in the region’s mining industry, serving as an executive officer for several mining companies in Goldfield and Tonopah, earning him the title of the “largest individual property owner in Goldfield.” After the mining collapse in the 1920s, he invested in cotton growing in the Las Vegas and Pahrump Valleys.

Sprague’s wife, Blanche Sprague, was equally influential. She founded the first Nevada Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) in 1910, with the inaugural meeting held at "The Gables" on Crook Street. In 2010, to mark the D.A.R.’s centennial in Nevada, the Nevada Chapters presented a commemorative plaque to the property’s then-owners, Mr. and Mrs. John Ekman, during a public ceremony on August 22. The plaque is prominently displayed at the entrance to the house along with the respective Nevada Historical Marker.

The "after" photo shows how the Sprague House currently looks in April 2025 as you drive around the bend into Goldfield main street.

One of the coolest historic Air BnB's in a "living" ghost town. They even left the oven and crucibles! The townsfolk are doing an awesome job preserving what's left of "The World's Greatest Gold Camp" 🪙
