International Cafe and Bar

 

The International Hotel is the oldest hotel in Nevada. A portion of the bar and east side of building was the original International Hotel in Virginia City, built 1859. Taken down in early 1863 to make room for Virginia City’s  new and larger International Hotel, sections of the original building were loaded on the wagons and brought to Austin. The sides were rebuilt and given their original name. Other sections were added from time to time, and the completed hotel was famous for its dining room and upstairs ballroom. Many concerts and large balls were held upstairs in the Grand Ball Room. Emma Nevada, world famous European opera singer, made her debut appearance here.
