Two doors up from the Silver Dollar, I see the old Virginia Garage, offering Chevron Gasoline. With a rare red rectangular sign, and white wings over the CHEVRON. That logo hasn't been used for years! Goes back to the 1930's.
However, I drove along C Street through Virginia City several years ago, and did not see either the garage or the Chevron sign. I'da stopped to take a photo if I had! So I would surmise the post card / photo of the Silver Dollar Hotel is an old one. I don't specifically remember if I saw the Silver Dollar; probably so, but it was just one more old building in that historic hillside city.
